NSTD.1:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

Anti-patternWhat failsRepair
Desired conclusion selects its own evidenceThe account suppresses a relevant conflicting relation.Compare the draft with the needed source relations and alternatives; change its selection or qualify the conclusion.
Unexplained selectionNeither the writer nor reader can say why a relation was included or omitted.Recover that choice from the intended use and source; revise the selection where it fails.
Motivation as truth supportA moving narrative is treated as stronger evidence.Route evidence to A.10 and keep motivation as reader-use support.
Unstated limit that changes relianceA reader uses an incident chronology as its causal explanation.State which causal claim is unresolved and where to obtain the needed account.
