Essentially you don't need to be any less critical.

So basically this would mean that as opposed to saying "adjusting your standards accordingly" you would think it more appropriate to say "adjust your form of criteria accordingly", am I right?

What about guilty pleasures then? Do you think that guilty pleasures are in a special class of their own since their enjoyment, and your critical judgment don't go hand in hand like they usually do?
