"You're not doing it right" can be its own criticism though. If you're not doing X right then maybe that means it's too hard to use X in a way that adds value.
X can be useful for one person in one situation and not useful in another, neither of which shows that it's intrinsically useful or intrinsically flawed. It just depends. Our holy wars to prove the might of our favorite tools and techniques are never going to give any universal truths.
