RMP.7:3 - Forces
| Force | Tension |
|---|
| Joint support | More contributions can strengthen an inference, while repeated material can create only the appearance of corroboration. |
| A concise answer | A synthesis reduces reading effort, while an aggregate may erase the contrast the receiver needs. |
| Different traditions | Quantitative, interpretive and historical inquiries can inform one question, while their transformations and confidence claims differ. |
| Coverage | Relevant omissions can change a finding, while a complete search may exceed what a bounded question needs or what access permits. |
| Reuse and change | An existing synthesis saves work, while a changed source, question or use can invalidate part of it. |
| Completion | A qualified corpus answer can finish, while a worthwhile new inquiry remains a separate choice. |
