PSD.5:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them
| Anti-pattern | Repair |
|---|
| “The simulation represents the situation.” | State the exact question, represented conditions, and omitted concerns. |
| “Three models agree, so the evidence is stronger.” | Recover whether their assumptions, data, or implementation errors are shared. |
| “Every perspective needs its own complete model.” | Retain only perspectives whose difference changes a present claim or use; use a smaller expression where sufficient. |
| “The qualitative map supplies the probabilities.” | Keep attributed beliefs separate from calibrated evidence; the missing calibration limits the claim, and acquisition needs its own receiving value. |
| “Consistency means validity.” | Test the relevant model-to-world claim through the direct practice. |
| “C.29 governs every picture.” | Open its mathematical-lens branch only for a real mathematical-lens choice that changes use. |
