In designing cars this is true. When the car industry began designing cars in the 1970s that carried the suggestions of women, certain innovations appeared: mirrors on the underside of visors, reading lights for passengers and for the backseat, cupholders between the seats, and steering wheels that adjusted downward for easier control by a generally shorter population than men. When they listened to the voices of handicapped people, floor switches for brightening or dimming lights changed from the floor to the blinker handle and gear shift handles that wouldn't move from park unless the brake was depressed.
I don't know that "critics" is the best choice of words for this commercial, but the idea is right and results in better vehicles. It is the same idea that works for humans. The ancient Hebrews had a proverb, "As iron sharpens iron, so one person makes another sharper." It is the same principle as for Acura that gives us change in our own lives. When we listen to what is said, we know how to improve particular nuances of our lives.
And perhaps, the people we are closest to, those sharing our most personal moments, create more innovation in us than critics. We innovate our lives, renovate our thinking, sometimes our habits, because we talk and like what we hear and make adjustments, which makes us better people. That's what compatibility produces in our lives. We need those who see our facades and whims, our deepest values and genuine inclinations, to engage us in conversation. We'll be better... and happier... and much more productive, enthusiastic, and vibrant... and loving.
