I don't think you get what I said. In fact, on many occasions ****I said exactly what you have said. "A critic need not be a performer."***
I think there has been a bit of misunderstanding.
I am not talking about the critics when I said "The people."
In "The people who shout themselves hoarse in public, and put themselves up on pedestals as demi-gods", "the people" are the ones who trumpet their method and their material is the best and one-and-only sure way to learn English.
