As soon you have progressed beyond the stage of an outright beginner, people are constantly telling you how good you are.
Mostly, this is just meaningless. Out of tact, politeness or whatever people will very rarely tell you that your throwing totally sucks even when it does.
Your friends will flatter you to make you feel good. Your instructors will say "that's good" to encourage you and build your confidence.
People who know nothing about throwing will gush about how well you can throw.
Nobody will say "I'd be really embarrassed if I threw like you" or "that's really mediocre throwing."
Further, even if people wanted to let us know exactly how well or badly we were throwing, they wouldn't have the vocabulary.
Mostly, all they can say are things like "that's not bad."

THE TOP TEN SIGNS YOU DIDN'T DO AS WELL AS YOU THOUGHT IN THE LAST TOURNAMENT

10. The Boomerang man discontinues the style of boomerangs you favor.

9. Your coach is standing on a nearby freeway playing chicken with the semi's.

8. The worst thrower in the world says you were the only contestant who appeared to know how to throw

7. The grounds crew has to replace the divots where you threw.

6. Your closest competitor's spouse gives you a hug and kisses you on both cheeks.

5. Forty minutes have passed and your coach still hasn't come out of the bathroom.

4. You wonder if the noise coming from the judges' area is snoring.

3. After you throw, people point and laugh at whoever is standing behind you; BUT, when you turn around, there's no one there.

2. You would have preferred throwing for distance and then learned that you did.

And the number one reason:

1. The MTA boomerang that you caught for a record belonged to the guy who had the unmitigated gall to try and get in your way at the last instant.
