A single reaction can be valuable without becoming the final verdict.

One person’s response is a data point with a person attached to it. It tells you truthfully how the thing landed for them, on that day, with everything they happened to bring, and that is genuinely worth having. Treating it as the verdict gives one reader the authority of every reader. Dismissing it entirely wastes the only real information in the room.
Hold the next piece of feedback as one honest account rather than a ruling. Change something when a pattern shows up, not when the first voice does.
