Sounds like a different horrible group; sadly, they are not an endangered species. ;-< Mine rarely managed even that level of analysis; mostly they just said "It's fine" even when it was really, really not, because that way they didn't have to think. (If I never hear that phrase in feedback again, it'll be too soon.)
Although mine, too, managed a certain amount of "You showed us something and didn't explain it, so that must be a thing you didn't realize and let us tell you why you're wrong." I'm particularly reminded of the lectures about how translating mathematical papers requires a graduate-level grounding in mathematics as well as languages -- I couldn't possibly have put that in there to indicate the character had a maths degree as well as language skills, oh no.
There are reasons why, much as I would like more critiquers, I am very leery of approaching people for it.
