I find that works wonders, some have produced stuff were you think 'That's very good' or even 'I wish I'd done that' they're the ones you act on.
With others you might be left thinking 'Cheeky f**king dickhead' these types put shit up time after time.
Fair enough if that's how you feel best able to assess the feedback you take on board but I'd have to disagree professionally- people may be able to make points worth considering even if their own work isn't to one's taste, or they're commenting on a form of writing that isn't their forte, or that they're still learning basics about. I'm sure we all know for example there should always be a twist for the punchline but these things are often easier said than done when actually writing, and everyone needs reminding or given a little inspiration from time to time. A script editor can be a wonderful script editor because they herd your ideas, not because they try to compete with the content.
