[Sigia-l] what are best practices (was OT: Library Thing)

[Listera]

Eric Scheid:

> the latter requires the former

It's very difficult to argue with you when you don't read/parse the source
material I post. In the medical example I gave, the "best practice" for
years was wrong. Somebody had to, heaven forbid, defy the orthodoxy to
"innovate" a solution/cure. The innovation was defying not requiring it.
 
>> An innovation that doesn't solve a problem is an oxymoron.

Which assumes there's something "old" that is problematic, that needs
solving.

>     2.    something newly invented or a new way of doing things

See above.
 
> Nothing there about "solving a problem".

Only if one can't parse it.
