Captions available
The idea
A sound procedure transmits truth; it cannot create it — a rule that is wrong for a case yields a confident, perfectly derived, wrong conclusion.
In practice
A succulent that yellows naturally each autumn: the overwatering rule fires, the derivation is flawless, the diagnosis is wrong.
Where people slip
Audit by locating the fault — facts, rules, or procedure; here it lives in the rules.
