4th sentence of the quote im replying to:

> [@Judging and Fixing Your Own Errors](https://discuss.criticalfallibilism.com/t/judging-and-fixing-your-own-errors/492/1):
>
> _A criticism should say why an idea/action/plan will fail at a specific objective/purpose/goal (or at multiple goals)._

I think you can think about the quote above when you’re thinking about many clear goals maybe? You can do it when you’re trying to find an error that’s important? If you look for goals that fail cuz of an error and you find some, is that a criticism? I think in a way yeah. The reason the error causes failure for the goal maybe is cuz it didn’t pass the quick check. Idk

I see there are other things you can use criticisms for not just ideas. You can do it for actions or plans too. I think an example for actions would be in sports. You can probably use criticisms to say why certain actions there fail at a goal.

Also, you don’t just have to say why an action/idea/plan fails at a goal. They could fail at a purpose or objective. When an idea fails at a purpose that sounds like stuff for science and theory.

I don’t use plans/ideas/actions for objectives/purposes/plans much, at least not be really aware of that stuff. I think it may be kind of hard to use criticisms cuz i won’t know much about what im criticizing.
