I think you misunderstand what I'm trying to say.

What I say is that it's very disappointing that this demo goes 95% of the way to create something AWESOME, but those 5% it goes short are very stark and unfortunate. It's like a brand new Ferrari with a scratch. Wouldn't that be disappointing? Even though it's a Ferrari which is awesome.

The problem is that feelings are 95% positive and 5% negative, but my comment is 50/50. So it may seem that I'm being negative, when in fact I'm 95% positive. Hence those missing 5% are so disappointing.

Great job though, it's really neat (this goes without saying...).

Edit: The reason I talk about the negative is because it can be made better. I find it less useful to talk about positive because it's already good, so there's nothing to be done.
