EXD.1:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them
| Failure visible in use | Repair |
| Repeating why 5.5 is wrong after the recipient selects equal branch weight | Restate the changed aggregation question and answer it under its own rule. |
| Taking “I understand” or a qualification as evidence of the needed inference | Use an already available response or one relevant inference when that distinction can change assistance. |
| Treating an elicited list as a complete account of the recipient’s need | Ask what the question would help them do and allow an unlisted contribution. |
| Reopening a clear request with an elaborate interview | Use the sufficient question and return to clarification only when a consequential uncertainty appears. |
