There is a lot of value in critical thinking for any profession. One must be able to problem solve when working with other people's mysteriously sick children.
For the individual there dangers from those in authority, your critical thinking could undermine that authority which could have many repercussions on an individual. Outside of these matters critical thinking should be cultivated, any conclusions drawn must be examined, tested and proven valid or otherwise. Sometimes people get caught up in the sequential nature of critical thinking and exclude other forms of thinking, such as creative thinking or intuitive thinking. This would be a disadvantage, since creative thinking, for example, tends to produce innovation and invention.
An example of critical thinking would be if your car wouldn't start and you asked "What could be wrong?" and tried different things to see if you could fix the problem. Or if you wanted to earn money to buy a new iPad and you asked "How can I earn money?" and brainstormed different ways to do that.
We could start with poor reading skills and lack of background information. Some education might induce to bad critical thinking. For example there is a common question in school. Did the man continues evolution or the man completed the evolution? If you try to answer the question with critical thinking, you cannot. If you say the man has or if you say the man hasn't it does not give you a proper chance to think critically if you don't believe in evolution. Questions like this are obstacles on critical thinking. They are made to indoctrinate students since an early age.
Critical thinking is used to assess and comment on, a theory or description, plan or recommendation of some kind. For example: A friend recommends a restaurant, saying the food is wonderful. You try it, and agree the food is good, but the kitchen is dirty. You also use critical thinking in syllogisims/logic, like: All men are mortal. My father is a man. Therefore: my father is mortal. Do the first two facts lead logically to the conclusion? Try this one: Some dogs are black. My dog is black. Therefore: my dog is some dog! If you get a chance to study logic, do so. It will help you in many ways.
There is a sequential, convergent nature to critical thinking. Each stage or step of the thought process must be analyzed and found to be correct before moving on to the next step and the next step. And so on toward a purposeful end. This is a structured process. For example: "If A then B, if B then C, if C then D." If each step is reasoned and correct then also: "if A then D follows." Collaboration can foster critical thinking by helping to establish and prove each step. In other words, you might not see the B to C stage, but someone else might have that piece. Together, the group can more easily analyze and reason through the sequence.

It is not a question, it is a statement. This sentence lacks some needed words for correct grammar. For example, if I change "requires" to "require" it indicates that academic papers require critical-thinking skills. "Peer editing academic papers require critical-thinking skills and diplomacy." The academic papers have become self-aware! Your sentence should read: "The peer editing of academic papers requires critical-thinking skills and diplomacy." now "of academic papers" becomes a descriptive phrase, describing "peer editing" "Peer editing requires critical-thinking skills and diplomacy." stands alone as a sentence. Descriptive phrases can be added to it. To make it a question, write this: "Does the peer editing of academic papers require critical-thinking skills and diplomacy?"
A close reading is when a text is read methodically. The text is investigated in order to answer questions geared to test comprehension and critical thinking.

If by critical thinking you mean rational thinking, then illogical thinking is it's opposite and excludes it of necessity. If instead you simply mean "thinking that is effective", then illogical thinking interferes only insofar as rational thinking is effective. Our society holds up rational analysis as an ideal, but in some situations intuitive, seemingly illogical thought produces better results. Critical thinking is sequential. Each stage or step of the thought process must be analyzed and found to be correct before moving on to the next step and the next step. And so on toward a purposeful end. This is a structured process. For example: "If A then B, if B then C, if C then D." If each step is reasoned and correct then also: "if A then D follows." Illogical thinking would interfere with the sequence somewhere, interfering and breaking the chain. For example: "If A then B, if B then K, if C then D." There's no link from B to C, interfering with the sequence.
Depends on the theme and how well you follow the basic learning process. I always liked to have a lesson end with critical thinking skills, and divergent thinking. Creating or inventing something.
