General observationsGeneral observations
1. A field and its customs change as members learn about a specific method, invent new ones and modify its existing ones
2. “Rules of thumb” are endemic to all fields3. It is expected that you keep pace with the
field during your career4. It is expected that when you read a paper,
you take pains to understand the method even if the method was not known to you before
