I realised again how much I appreciate sincere people. Ok, admittedly sincerity might be a bit rough to take at first, but I am by now convinced that it saves you a lot of trouble down the line (basically the same thing as the short feedback cycles in agile programming... quite a human and common sense thing, really).
It's like filling things in a black box, not knowing if they go together well with what is already in.. but how should you possibly know if the owner doesn't tell? You will usually only notice when suddenly and out of the lightest blue there comes an explosion for some completely minuscule thing. And as is probably intuitive, an explosion tends to cause much more damage than some bit of incompatibility information given at the start.
For this reason, it take it to be quite useful to address people directly when a problem occurs, because most of the time they are not deliberately being a nuisance. I just wonder if generally people need more encouragement to dare to state that they do not like something.

In latvian we say: "dots devējam atdodas" - you get what you give.
optimistic view :) but sadly not so applicable in real life. in my experience you either get some random explosion or you realise that something is wrong, step on people's nerves even more and then get a bucket of cold water over your head (in the best case)
it's true, but some objects just don't return anything, no matter what input; but that's not what you want to focus on. Actually imao unexpected sincereness makes people trice suspicious than unexpected cynicism or negations - they often infer that there must be some underlaying intentions or smthn - normally people just don't tend to be sincere just like that. But once they realize that it just might as well be just like that, they are totally derailed from their automatized pattern matching behavior, so that you might face back something, as you say, really random :).
