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

Failure in the working situationRepair
Choosing a scheme from a keyword or title and supplying its absent premisesMatch the actual claims; recover contextual evidence for an implicit premise or revise the scheme.
Splitting a conditional into two asserted factsKeep the conditional relation intact and obtain a separate ground for its antecedent before using it.
Making a charitable repair indistinguishable from the source’s argumentState which additions have contextual support and which are your new grounds or proposed revision.
Paraphrasing successive claims while the inference remains missingApply the relevant definition, rule or earlier result to the transition’s actual premises.
Checking local steps while failing to explain why a lemma or construction appearsRecover the difficulty that contribution resolves and connect it to the conclusion.
Treating several uses of one premise as several independent groundsKeep the common prerequisite visible and examine its role in the needed branches.
Promoting a temporary assumption to an established premiseRecover the subargument and the conclusion obtained when that assumption is discharged.
Using one example to claim that the general statement has been provedRecover the argument that covers the stated domain; retain the example as an illustration of it.
Demanding a complete reproof when the task only needs an established result under its stated conditionsUse that result at the needed level; open its internals when the new question requires them.
