Avoid lethal
mutations
Without adherence to first principles of
learning, surface procedures tend to be
adopted, adapted and ritualized in such
a way that they cease to serve the
“thinking” function they were designed
to foster... Some modifications so far
depart from the original philosophy
that they can be termed “lethal
mutations”.
