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

Failure	Repair
Comparing unlike outputs as rivals: reachability and minimum cost are both called a route answer.	State the question each answers, then construct the common question or their complementary use.
Identifying theoretical accounts because a fitted case gives the same number.	Compare the meanings and decisive operations; derive the range of agreement when a broader claim is needed.
Treating a numerical discrepancy as a physical-theory disagreement.	Recover the formulation and approximation, as in the oscillator case, before changing the physical account.
Selecting a more elaborate account for capabilities the present question does not use.	Compare the adequate answers and their burdens; retain the further capability for the question that needs it.
Seeking more observations to resolve a difference that ordinary observations cannot distinguish.	Derive the discriminating consequence and use the relevant causal or other domain method; retain an unresolved difference when further inquiry is unavailable or unwarranted.
