Yes. Except for class design crits where defining allows the student to design and suggestions remove the designer role from the student.
Not meaning to dismiss anything anyone suggested as mere desire to be clever but maxims often work unless they don't work:
"A transposable aphorism is a malaise of the urge to be witty, or in other words, a maxim that is untroubled by the fact that the opposite of what it says is equally true so long as it appears to be funny."
