That is entirely unwarranted, and beside the point.

No objective judgement is being made or communicated.

We don't need to assume that, or even take technical merit into consideration. This is not a question of who is right or wrong in a technical sense.
What is communicated by the caller's first sentence is whether the caller liked the approach. By their own admission they did not like it ("bad work"), but they communicated that they did like it ("I really liked").
okay, so we're talking in circles and you simply dismiss any attempts at clarifiation. I have a point but you are free to ignore it, even if you think it's irrelevant it is to me.
just keep this thread in mind the next time you say in your mind "I don't know why coworker X isn't getting it". Sometimes you need to check under your shoe.
EDIT: the last response shows I was wasting my time here. I wish we had an ignore feature on HN.
That is entirely unwarranted, and beside the point.
