In many organizations—maybe most—telling your boss his baby is ugly is a career limiting move.

@estherderby Totally reminds me of the advice on getting UI feedback: don't show a pixel-perfect mockup, show a rough sketch. Even if the pixel-perfect mockup already exists, you'll get better feedback from the sketch (better as in more focused on the functionality and how well it will do the intended job)

@soaproot That's super interesting that a low fi depiction can shift the focus of feedback..

I've also had a sort of opposite experience with early draft writing, where I ask for feedback about the content, and some ppl focus on copywriting issues.

@estherderby Totally agreed that the goal is to get feedback about the content rather than copywriting, color schemes, icons, and the like.

Perhaps the writing equivalent is to show an outline rather than an early draft?

To be honest my experience on this stuff is mostly not firsthand so I'm mostly reporting what I've seen others write about it.
