Too Broad, Too Narrow

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

A definition is too broad when it admits non-members, too narrow when it excludes members.

Show

"Bird: an animal that flies." Too broad — bats get in. Too narrow — penguins are shut out. Both failures, one definition.

Watch for

Always run both tests. Fixing one failure routinely creates the other.
