B.5.MPC.R:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

Failure	Consequence	Repair
Solve for the former unknown	A correct formula answers the old question.	Retain the relation and select the givens and unknowns again.
Refine the computation of ambiguous data	The physical alternatives remain indistinguishable.	Change acquisition or return the supported ambiguity.
Treat debugger time as physical time	A retained actuator command can continue to act during the pause.	Recover the actual timer and actuator behavior.
Treat a probe as passive despite its coupling	The observed system differs from the modelled unobserved arrangement.	Include the probe interaction or change the measurement.
Switch algorithms while retaining the disputed physical premise	The alternative preserves the same failure.	Compare its complete application conditions.
