B.5.RA:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them
| Failure in the working situation | Repair |
| Choosing a scheme from a keyword or title and supplying its absent premises | Match the actual claims; recover contextual evidence for an implicit premise or revise the scheme. |
| Splitting a conditional into two asserted facts | Keep the conditional relation intact and obtain a separate ground for its antecedent before using it. |
| Making a charitable repair indistinguishable from the source’s argument | State which additions have contextual support and which are your new grounds or proposed revision. |
| Paraphrasing successive claims while the inference remains missing | Apply 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 appears | Recover the difficulty that contribution resolves and connect it to the conclusion. |
| Treating several uses of one premise as several independent grounds | Keep the common prerequisite visible and examine its role in the needed branches. |
| Promoting a temporary assumption to an established premise | Recover the subargument and the conclusion obtained when that assumption is discharged. |
| Using one example to claim that the general statement has been proved | Recover 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 conditions | Use that result at the needed level; open its internals when the new question requires them. |
