Where there's a genuine worry, I think it's much more likely to get a
constructive response if the worry is expressed with understanding of the
context.

"Here are my five concerns about this document" is quite a different thing
to read from "Most of this document seems pretty sensible. However, are
five concerns I have about it, though I think I have only spotted one of
them actually happening at all"

Regards,

Chris
