I started asking 'what's the one thing you'd change?' instead of 'any feedback?'

Yeah, that's so true. I was reading something about how doctors have to ask very direct questions to get a clear picture of what's wrong, because if they just ask "how are you feeling" people will just say "fine." It totally applies to everyday stuff too, like trying to get a straight answer from a contractor or even a friend about plans. Being vague just lets everyone, including yourself, avoid the hard part of the conversation. You have to pin it down to get anywhere real.
