### Their criticism is linked first, and about half of it lands

A published criticism of this letter appeared last week. It is linked at the top rather than characterised by me, and my response follows it.

#### What they argue

That this consistently frames change as loss and does not distinguish between things worth mourning and things worth being glad about.

#### Where they are right

On the framing, entirely. Reading back, about two thirds of pieces use the vocabulary of loss without examining whether it applies.

#### Where I disagree

On the conclusion, that this makes it useless. Recording what went is worth doing even when the going was an improvement.
