"I guess my point is that criticism toward major conceptual flaws in a model
are valid. However, minor shortcomings that can be fixed by some modelers
that choose to do so should be toned down accordingly."

Ted, you're on point, but in this case you need to get the facts straight.
The major problem with the prior tower project in question was that it was
grossly out of scale.  In point of fact, the model was much closer to S
scale than the HO scale model that it purported to be.  This rates a low
grade on any grading scale.
