Shouldn't we do the same with AA? If we're not allowed to question or criticize it on a recovery board, how will AA ever get any better? How can people get their questions in front of a relevant audience? It just makes sense to be able to criticize AA on a recovery board - in the end, discussions like that are the only thing that'll help AA become more effective!
