This is true. I've been writing and beta-reading for years, and there is kind of an art to the diplomacy of beta notes, like:

"I suggest x here instead of y. You seem to use the same word a bit too frequently and it gets repetitive."

"I'm a little confused about this passage; who is unzipping Joe's pants and when you talk about Edgar moving his leg, is it his leg or Joe's?"

"The ending seems kind of weak. The buildup is so wonderful and so I think the final scene deserves more closure for Joe and Edgar or leave us wanting more, but it just kind of peters out. Suggest a or b."

My notes are really well-received and writing them in this way has immensely improved the way I communicate to junior employees (and touchy senior ones) at work.

Same anon.

And of course, I point the funny lines or really clever ones and give a lot of positive feedback!

That sounds a pretty good way to do it.
