Shouldn't Critics be Critiques?

That's my critic, err, critique anyway.
I mean critics will make critiques, and trolls will troll, but not all critiques are from critics. If you have to be a critic to make a critique that raises two fundamental questions:
1) What kind of credentials are required to be a critic (and how do you verify them). This is vital as otherwise you just have trolls.
and more importantly:
2) By specifying critics you exclude constructive critiques from otherwise (mostly) happy players.
This critic is serious, but pedantic, and I hope the powers that be take it in the spirit that it's given in.
