In Japanese, 'hiron' is the act of collecting and explaining information, and its purpose is to provide tools to deepen understanding. On the other hand, 'criticism' creates knowledge and moves thought, and its purpose is to give new meaning to the matter being discussed. This is completely different from the act of collecting information. Of course, a good critique often contains a certain amount of criticism to increase readability, but basically a critique does not need criticism. Criticism can unconsciously contain critical elements, which can make it more interesting, but basically 'hiron' and 'criticism' can be considered the difference between reflection (review) and creative work (rewrite).
