And it's not just for errors. Sometimes people point out things that aren't wrong but are being taken in directions you didn't mean. I know that with my last vid, which was for SGA, one of my betas came back saying "I don't know why you made this section about sex" and I was all o_O because sex? Wha? But I saw what she meant when she explained. I hadn't had any intention of putting that in there, so changed things around so that others wouldn't think that.
I can understand being off put by constructive feedback. I know a couple of times I've read it, and then had to step back before saying anything else. I went back to that first review I posted above and kept wincing at how defensive I was sounding :S
It can be hard to take critical feedback, but I can't help but think that if it were more common, people would be more used to it. I think now, since it's rarer people are thrown and get defensive more quickly because in it's unexpectedness it feels like an attack. *shrugs*
