Home Inspections, Should the Good be with the Bad?

I received yet another home inspection report that is the bad, the ugly and the negative.

 

 

            Why can't the inspections include positive features?  I asked yet another inspector that question again today, "Liability".  Please...

            In this world of doubt and negativity would it really be so bad to list some good traits and features of a home on the inspection report.  Liability?  In my state, Michigan, Home Inspectors are not licensed by the state.  At the end of the inspection they buyer signs a waiver and hold harmless.  Liability?

             I was also told the inspection is supposed to only point out defects.  UGH...  

I was told I am the only agent ever unhappy with this person's inspection.  I'm not unhappy, I would just like to see positive remarks too. 

 Well, many agents won't make suggestions or comments to an inspector for fear the inspector will trash the next home this agent has inspected.  Most agents will just take the inspector off the list.
                             I said, "isn't it nice we are talking...  agents talk to each other", we just want the postive with the negitive...

           Someone correct me if I'm wrong.  I would love to hear the reason why positive remarks should not be on a home inspection.
