Posting this under the heading it deserves: Revisiting: Patterns that reliably precede a problem, documented Everything below is what sits behind that.

Patterns, from the point of view of someone who has read the documentation and is still stuck.

Saying which parts I have understood so that nobody wastes time re-explaining them, and where exactly the understanding stops.

Coming back to post #2, because the follow-up matters more than the original answer.

If you are new and reading this thread for the answer to Patterns: the answer is conditional, the conditions are in the third reply, and the rest of the thread is worth skipping.

Useful. I had the fact and not the reason, which turns out to be the important half.

Patterns has been discussed here with more heat than it deserves, mostly because two definitions have been in play the whole time.

r.aldana_pharmd, post #12: Confirming post #9 from a second method, which matters more than confirming it from a second person. Patterns would be much easier to settle if anyone reported the denominator. Almost nobody reports the denominator. Go to post

Appreciated. The plain phrasing does more work here than a longer post would.
