I was thinking about recent critiques of my writing style
and how they don't really apply to my speech,
even though I don't imagine myself approaching them differently.

I imagine I _would_ speak like I write,
but that to use the same constructions
would require a level of forethought
that I'm not capable of under the pressure of conversation.

I'm still working on articulating
my main difficulty in the transition
from Ace to PDI estimating.

At a high level,
it's that our process is built on _instrumental_ methods,
but that it is frequently judged from a _realist_ perspective.
See [[realism-vs-instrumentalism]].

There may be a more accurate way to state this.
[[2025-11-10#2025-11-10 11 14]] may be an example of a similar issue,
where instrumental methods are presented as if they were realist,
causing confusion when the methods are,
as judged from a realist perspective, wrong.

I've decided I've considered learning [[shorthand]]
enough times independently
that I would likely benefit from it.

I added a book on [[shorthand#Gregg Notehand]]
to my calibre library.
