I think too many "recognized" critics, like those in magazines and other so-called experts mostly enjoy the sound of their own voice as opposed to providing any actual insightful opinion. Case in point: when presented with a fantastic photograph, the critic in question must resort to 250% zoom levels in order to have something to write about.
