Indeed.I will borrow Bruce Schneier's quote on his book

"Cryptography Engineering: Design Principles and Practical Applications"

In this field, we make a very strict distinction between attacking somebody's
work and attacking somebody personally. Any work is fair game. If somebody
proposes something, it is an automatic invitation to attack it. If you break one
of our systems, we will applaud the attack and tell everybody about it.2 We
constantly look for weaknesses in any system because that is the only way to
learn how to make more secure systems. This is one thing you will have to learn:
an attack on your work is not an attack on you. Also, when you attack a system,
always be sure to criticize the system, not the designers. Personal attacks in
cryptography will get you the same negative response as anywhere else
