The taxonomy was originally diagnostic: each type has a corresponding repair (frame-fix, axiom-revise, index-specify), and the diagnostic move is to identify which repair the failure calls … Continue reading When Apparatus Sharpens Taxonomy: What Implementation Granularity Reveals About Type A, B, and C Failures

Pattern First Abraham Wald, during World War II, examined bullet-hole patterns on returning bombers. Every other analyst in the room recommended reinforcing the areas with the most damage. Wald recommended reinforcing the areas with no holes — because planes hit there didn't return. The story compresses a sophisticated statistical insight (selection effects in observational data) … Continue reading A Taxonomy of Epistemic Parables
