I truly have no concerns of peer review in this way, but if I have to have one it would be that the reader is afraid to be completely honest for fear of hurting my feelings.
I feel this activity is very effective because personally, I do not have a strong hold on grammar, sentence structure, etc., but I do know my own feelings and I know how something makes me feel when I read it and I feel that is very valuable to a writer because they may be able to see where there paper landed and then they can question if that is where they wanted it to land or not.
I truly think everyone embracing it and not be afraid of being 100% honest is how this process can be very effective.
I want to take the feedback I was given and make my paper stronger and since there were somethings that were not clear to my peers, I want to go back in and clarify those items, so my final draft is even stronger.
100% honesty is the most helpful response because then I know where my paper is sitting with my readers and as Murray feels, the writer must earn their audience and that is what I am hoping to do.
