Better words could not have been written for all of us. All criticisms should be, at least initially, treated as having some truth value. If after reflection (the amount of which has a great deal of variation) one decides that the criticism is not valid, then dismiss it. Umpires (in fact anyone) do themselves great harm by immediately dismissing criticism out of hand. And even worse by starting a response with "yeah, but..." Yeah butters rarely advance very rapidly or very far.
