Misconception: Wicked Means Difficult

Captions available

The idea

Wicked names a structure — contested aims, no complete definition, no final solution — not a level of difficulty. A hard problem with a clear goal is not wicked.

In practice

A difficult problem everyone agrees on, beside one nobody can define.

Where people slip

Calling every hard problem wicked excuses the failure to define the ones that could have been defined.
