You might want to elaborate
S/he probably means you should be able to point out weaknesses. But that's another thing from doing it in a scoring-points way.
yea, pointing out weakness cannot be discouraged or you create a race to the bottom in the name of being nice. the "scoring points" thing is subjective to the group and is mostly equivalent to "don't be a jerk".
