A 'workaround' that I saw working is having two 'retrospectives', one per scrum team (without the PO) and a latter one across multiple scrum teams, which includes product owners. This way, PO input is still received, but there is at least one session where views can be freely shared. I like the exclusion of the product owner from the retrospective meetings;

I omitted a word and it changed the meaning of my sentence.

The sentance seems contradictive surely it should read "Since the Product Owner does not sit in on this meeting, team members can speak frankly about the sprint’s successes and failures."
