On pointing out every problem:
I once watched my sister the high school English teacher grade essays. Bad, bad essays. Incoherent essays. And each time, she'd write about three notes on the essay - three things to do better next time.
"But but but," I said. "There is so much more wrong with that."
"Yes," she said, "but they can, in theory, fix three things for next time. If I tell them all fifteen things they screwed up, they'll just get discouraged and give up."
Your Mileage May Vary. I think the rules are different for, say, an author with an established relationship with a beta reader. Or a copy editor.
It's hard, but I think it can be helpful to actually limit yourself to the top 1-3 things you'd change in whatever you're concritting... and to not compare to what others have said. If, out of twelve reviews, ten tell me the same things, that's valuable. It's a stronger message about what a wider cross-section of readers is seeing.
That's a lot harder than I thought it would be!

That reads like porn to Shale. (See six words)
