I do worry about the challenges of avoiding mean spiritedness whilst still providing criticism and having some fun. I’ve mostly been thinking about posts in terms of “here’s one to illustrate major concept X” lately, but I am concerned I will eventually run out of things to say once I’ve covered all the main points.

It both makes the post more digestible, and helps ward off an impression of mean spirited-ness. This post gives a feeling of respect for Mr. Ashman’s intent and clear attention to detail, while advising him of a clear road to improvement; I think that’s a great tone to take.

Indeed, I’d love to see his data in a more digestible form, it seems quite fascinating.
