   I disagree. The standard I prefer is full disclosure and trust the 
manager. If there is some reason why special consideration should be 
given to your review, make that clear. This is true whether you believe 
that consideration should be positive or negative. Then, write the best 
review you can.

   We try hard to make sure our managers are intelligent and suited to 
the task. I trust them to weigh your concerns and complements 
appropriately as long as they know any special circumstances.
