Well, no, I'm saying it's made easier to perceive something wrong when there is praise consensus it's wrong. While the opposite is true, it's harder to perceive something wrong when there is praise consensus that it is right.
Anyways, that was a minor point, and would not invalidate the argument, if it was true or not true.
