"Seek out negative feedback. Ask your friends NOT to tell you what they like about your product, but rather what they don't like. Underweight positive feedback, and overweight the negative." - Elon Musk

Asking a friend - "What don't you like about it?" - can be counter intuitive. But I'd swap negative for critical feedback, and Mr Musk may have even meant that. (At least going by his hyperloop announcement - https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/356776740409974785)
