Critiques include positive as well as negative comments. Often a critique is an analysis or inventory of how well various aspects of an activity are performed.

So, if something is effective or well-executed or imagined, that calls for comment, as much as do things that are incorrect, or imperfect.

Also, it's not so simple to design tests to show that things such as blocking people are working, or that such and such empirical test has any necessary or compelling relationship to what you're trying to prove.

There are lots of value judgments involved, in what it means to be "working well"-- plus arguments would be necessary for why one empirical test or other gives the answer.

Of course, unargued or undemonstrated assertions that blocking has any particular effect would also be somewhat less than persuasive.

What the effects of blocking people are, is an interesting question, though.
