This has obviously gone completely over your head, hasn't it?
The objective of criticism, anywhere, in any walk of life where "appraisals" in one form or another are conducted, isn't to reduce the subject to a wreck, but to encourage them to do better. Hence my mention of "some small merit."
That's what we want, the contestants to improve so that those of us who actually enjoy ballroom dancing get a better show.
As for "ballroom techniques" Craig has very little professional experience, though I do believe he is quite knowledgeable when it comes to "correct thumb positioning," mind you, we're all good at that to, aren't we?
