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

Failure	What changes in practice
A new label substitutes for a changed assertion.	Locate and amend the actual claim, assumption or explanatory relation.
An article is converted into pattern headings and declared reproducible.	Preserve the substantive problem, frame, forces, construction, grounds and limits; provide the means for the named repetition and distinguish its actual result from mere availability.
A decision date is used as proof about physical closure.	Match the event or distinguish the decision from its later implementation before drawing the causal conclusion.
One failed premise erases the entire model.	Follow its actual dependencies, retaining supported parameters, observations and calculations within their remaining scope.
An unqualified conclusion survives beside a caveat.	Make the conclusion itself carry the warranted scope and reconcile the dependent outputs.
A local edit is assumed to correct known reliance.	Return the change through the actual receiver and authority, with an unresolved delivery limit when necessary.
Uncertainty automatically commissions research.	Compare the attainable contribution and whole burden; finish with the current limit when no further inquiry is selected.
