A small practice for the open review comment

A practical exercise: Resolve the question or state the limitation explicitly.

Original practice · Optional exercise · Things we can finish

Choose a low-stakes example you can change without affecting another person’s private information or commitments.

  1. Describe the current situation in one sentence. The example here is: A draft is declared ready while a material question remains unanswered.
  2. Resolve the question or state the limitation explicitly.
  3. Compare the result with the difficulty you named. Write one concrete observation.
  4. Keep, adapt, or stop the experiment. A note about why you stopped is a valid result.

Try a question

What are you asking another person to agree to, and can they comfortably decline?
