Explain before advising
Definitions, context and limits accompany the answers. Training examples are suggestions to adapt.
Separate feelings from evidence
A feeling of comfort does not demonstrate a performance gain. We explain the limits of the findings discussed.

An update date accompanies a substantive revision. Important corrections are taken into account.
