RMP.9:3 - Forces
| Force | Tension |
|---|
| Preserve useful practice | Familiarity is not evidence of adequacy, but a suitable Method should not be replaced merely because change is possible. |
| Locate the defect | Method, description, implementation, capability and receiving claim can fail differently; the visible symptom alone does not identify the correction. |
| Criticism within the research purpose | Shared demands for inspectability coexist with different statistical, interpretive and historical criteria. |
| Evidence and whole burden | A discriminating comparison can improve many later studies, while its design, conduct and uptake consume real research capacity. |
| Change and continuity | A useful revision must reach its users without transferring qualification evidence beyond its conditions or erasing consequential provenance. |
