Criticism.

A senior official in local government was interviewed on radio about their response to a report that had criticised some decisions that the council had proposed.

The journalist asked him whether he was concerned that a political agenda was what motivated the report. His reply surprised and delighted me.

'No, not really. It's just another piece of information that we'll consider in deciding what is in the best interests of the community.'

Widget Thinking in action. 

I'm a naïve inquirer. 

This is information and I get to decide its value. 

Its value is determined by what it tells me about making a better community (Widget).

It will be considered on its merits along with all the other information. 

(Thank you and please keep sending me information about my Widget.)
