NOT.7:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

Failure	Repair
Replacing symbols while leaving the same search or reconstruction work	Change the arrangement or operation responsible for the difficulty.
Hiding a repeated value behind a name whose definition cannot be found	Provide the reference and include its lookup cost in the comparison.
Treating equal printed values as a common parameter	Recover the subject’s sharing relation; :5.2 exposes the local-exception consequence.
Claiming a notation succeeds after its author supplied the missing explanation	Retain what the initial expression supplied and what the assistance added.
Declaring a universal winner from symbol count or one favorable task	Compare the relevant operations and their trade-offs.
Requiring an empirical study before a bounded useful correction	Use sufficient current evidence or a reversible, qualified design estimate.
