A response

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.

Their piece is linked in full and unedited. It is worth reading whether or not you read the response.
