NSTD.3:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

Anti-patternWhat failsRepair
Fluent but unsupported explanationA passage invites an explanation that its source does not support.Supply the missing connection, qualify it or return to the unresolved source question.
Causal overstatementThe narrative claims more about the cause than the grounds support.State the supported causal strength; use C.28 when its causal-use question needs work. Chronology is not a substitute causal explanation.
Event forcingA graph, proof dependency, or architecture view is converted into fake events.Name source structure kind and choose a better ordering rule through NSTD.2.
