Unfortunately, that is not universally true.

I sat through an evaluation, after the game, and the evaluator spent 99% of the time picking apart all of the things I did wrong. he was accurate in his assessment and i will strive to improve in the area's mentioned.
It would seem to be better if both positives and negatives were mentioned, so, you have positive feelings about your game.

Prior to doing an evaluation, I ask the umpire if he wants information to help him improve, or is he working to move up to higher levels of ball.
If he wants to simply improve, the evaluation is 50/50 positive to items that need fixing. If he is working to move up, say from HS to college, the evaluation is about 25/75 on things that are fine to things that need fixing.
