I'm not challenging that it's a useful data point. I'm questioning why you couldn't resist the urge to close the tab if you're going to bother to offer feedback. Time is finite and it's a perfectly valid reaction but not if you're going to attempt constructive criticism.

I'm also challenging that "we're doing just fine". Progress is always welcome and needed.

When I read about someone closing the tab in horror, I understand that he/she really disliked something about the page and used this expression to be more striking. Is there anyone who literally does that? =)
