I think it's more a matter of the applicant recognizing that his criticisms were in a spirit of helping and responding with gratitude for the additional help. The difference between a two line rejection and a 3 paragraph well-thought critique is a good amount of time.

If it isn't clear to me why I didn't obtain a position I ask for clarification (and reconsideration), usually the response I get is fairly good.

As to pbiggar, I think he's shown a great deal more care and consideration to his applicants than most do, and I for one appreciate that (even if we've never corresponded).
