HCD.14:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

Anti-pattern	Better move
“The score fell, so prescribe more practice.”	Recover the contribution and observation, then compare the causes that change the revision.
“One miss proves the training Method failed.”	State a bounded hypothesis and a discriminating fresh test.
“Replace the whole course.”	Preserve supported components and enlarge the change only when evidence warrants it.
“The new plan means the person has developed.”	Separate the proposal, performed work and observed outcome.
“The final score rose, so the revision worked.”	Check independent contribution and protected conditions; qualify any causal claim.
