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

Observed failure in revision	Why it matters	Repair
Replace a number while retaining the old question	The calculation still solves for the former unknown.	Restate the givens and requested result before choosing the computation.
Treat the loss of one argument as a refutation	A different sufficient argument may remain.	Examine its premises and derive the conclusion or its negation separately.
Count two dependent arguments as independent	Both can fail with their shared prerequisite.	Follow the common premise through both uses.
Preserve a conclusion through circular repetition	The retained statements supply no starting support.	Recover a grounded argument or leave the conclusion unresolved.
Repair the whole report to answer a small change	Unaffected results are needlessly reproduced.	Compare affected repair with a fresh sufficient answer and choose the useful scope.
