HCD.19:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

Misuse	Consequence in use	Better move
Correct the answer before saving it	The observation of first recognition is lost.	Preserve the first answer, then record the correction and help separately.
Call every failed task a material defect	A prerequisite gap or invalid criterion is misdiagnosed.	Compare the promise, subject criterion, and available support before selecting the repair.
Call every correct answer material adequacy	Expert rescue or answer-bearing help disappears from the inference.	Trace the material contribution and retain its limits.
Repair a central contradiction with a footnote	Dependent examples and tasks still teach or reward the wrong relation.	Repair the smallest connected chain that changes the use.
Rebuild the whole course for a wrong return	Useful explanations and established prefixes are changed without a supported reason.	Correct the edge and its receiving use; broaden only on actual dependence.
Remove all initial difficulty	A useful preparatory attempt may be lost.	Inspect whether subsequent instruction works with and resolves the attempted alternatives.
Equate structural complexity with human burden	A property of the rendering is substituted for an unobserved human experience.	Keep the structural diagnosis, reported human difficulty and untested-claim limit. Select qualified human observation only for an obtainable contribution worth its full burden; a stronger burden claim remains unsupported until its evidence is obtained.
