That's a terrible idea!
Sorry, couldn't resist. :-)
And I don't actually think it's a terrible idea. I like the "Yes...and"
approach for brainstorming where you want to generate lots of ideas in a
short timeframe. At other stages in the design process I've found two other
feedback methodologies to work really well:
* Say it back. Make sure you really understand the proposal you are about
to critique first - being able to articulate it as well as the original
author is a good test that you fully understand it.
* Use a green/yellow/red approach. Find something that's genuinely
positive, something you're unsure about, and something you suggest
changing. It helps you consider the proposal from different angles and
changes the tone.
My 2 Cents ...
