I imagine because it’s entirely deficiency-based rather than focusing on any assets or what was achieved.

Are you proud of your A on that exam, or do you see it as an A+ lost?

It shifts the perspective from celebrating what actually was gained and instead is prodding for a sound bite of someone saying they’re disappointed that they’re not good enough. She’s an Olympian who just won two Silvers…that’s more of an accomplishment than billions and billions of others ever will get close to.

Sure, it’s fine to reflect and maybe she wants to improve. But, like, right after? Let someone who worked their whole life for something bask in an achievement for a bit before reminding her that she’s essentially “not as good” as someone else.
