PSD.17:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

Anti-patternRepair
Announce cultural adoption from a new edition or courseRecover actual transmission, receiving enactment and the population/period covered; retain the rest as gaps.
Teach only the finished model or recommendation formatPreserve the interpretation, material dissent, qualification and stop that made the result usable.
Make every receiving practice copy the source exactlyCompare the necessary meaning with actual access, capability and participation conditions; qualify an adaptation or retain a separate branch.
Treat a team title as intervention authorityRecover the deciding System’s agency basis and the separate permission or authority for the named change.
Call one project choice population selectionState who chose what locally and obtain separate evidence for selection and continuation across practitioners.
Infer causation from a better-looking result after trainingPreserve rival explanations and the actual scope of the observation; test the stronger claim only when the decision needs it.
Use popularity or publication counts as a fitness scoreState what the measurement observes and recover the professional consequence that matters.
Keep intervening until all cultural links are provedClose the bounded decision with honest gaps, retained alternatives and a specific next observation or stop.
