2: Criticising someone by using a different person as an example. Not necessarily intentional.

"He made a micro-criticism when he said to me that he hates that other person's pants, while I was wearing the same kind.

"When I confronted her for insinuating I was fat, she got defensive and said I misunderstood, she was talking about other people, not me. I felt bad for getting mad, but we were talking about me in the first place. Was it a micro-criticism, or am I overly sensitive?"

The belief that critics are almost always dead wrong when reviewing a work. Indeed, these days reviews from critics and audiences tend to differ wildly.

The common belief is that if the critic reviews are negative and the audience is positive, the work is great, and if critic reviews are high while audience reviews are poor, the work is terrible.
The Mario Movie got a 55% on Rotten Tomatoes from critics, but 98% from the audience. That's critical contrarianism for you.
