As this discussion illustrates rather well, the argument "if you want to fix A, you'd have to start by fixing B (my pet gripe) first" is routinely deployed, making for an infinite regress in some cases, and in others the generation of suggestions that are rather clearly counterproductive for fixing A, whatever they may do for B. In the real world, if you want people to do thankless and time-consuming tasks for you for no money, and much criticism, you have to rely on something more than "be sure that you'll be told if we don't like you and what you do".
