F.19:6 - Bias-Annotation
F.19 deliberately biases toward direct, reader-usable technical prose. The protected value is kind-preserving clarity, not brevity by itself. A longer rewrite is better when it restores a participant, relation, boundary, or operational detail that the declared use needs.
| Likely bias | Failure | Countermove |
|---|---|---|
| Formal-completeness bias | Symmetrical contrasts, caveats, and lists look rigorous although they add no supported distinction. | Apply the contribution test and state the positive path first. |
| Adversarial-reader bias | Any imaginable mistake is treated as a reason for a guard. | Require an independent ground and a plausible intended reader. |
| Apparatus-preservation bias | A process, status, record, card, schema, or quality-proof phrase is replaced by another wrapper. | Recover the object and action, then remove or move the wrapper. |
| Overformalization bias | Clear metonymy, ellipsis, or a PatternID citation expands into type labels and Work machinery. | Formalize only a live distinction or unresolved relation. |
| Genre-flattening bias | Useful rhythm, evocation, or deliberate ambiguity is treated as defective technical accumulation. | Apply F.19 only where precise technical recognition or action is the declared use. |
