|
||
|
|
</p><blockquote><p>The confusion of the activities of your guild, profession, or field with the subject matter designed to deal with.
|
||
|
|
</p></blockquote><p>To quickly understand what this means, here's some examples:
|
||
|
|
</p><ul><li><p>In film, instead of focusing what movie is about, they boast about the sales or views.
|
||
|
|
</p></li><li><p>In media, "cover the coverage", a situation where multiple sources just focuses on other sources instead of the situation itself, a problem leading to echo chambers.
|
||
|
|
</p></li><li><p>In learning, instead of focusing what and why of a note-taking method, they focus on the possible effects of your productivity as much as possible.
|
||
|
|
</p></li></ul><p>This could also happen on yourself already.
|
||
|
|
</p><ul><li><p>In <a href="/wiki/2020-04-15-14-35-55">Note-taking</a>, you may focus on the number of notes, neglecting certain aspects such as the purpose and the quality of the notes.
|
||
|
|
</p></li><li><p>In <a href="/wiki/2021-07-22-14-09-26">Programming</a>, you may boast how the program is fast that is less readable instead of making sure the program is maintainable where maintaining that program for long-term use is more important.
