Re: Let's add an approved date field to Failures and Techniques

​>>​
If it is a failure, it was always a failure.    We can’t define a new
situation that fails when it didn’t before.
 We are just documenting it now for informational value — for convenience.Can
you help me understand this?

​I don't think documenting something makes it a new failure...Google is
documenting the roads in North America, but they existed before the
documentation.


There may be a number of reasons for adding a failure technique:

- it may be more of a problem now than it was in the past even though it
always was a technical failure
- we may have overlooked it even though the success criteria clearly
indicate it as a failure (i.e., not identifying regions in text or
programatically)
- elegant solutions may have emerged that cause us to want to enforce a
failure more proactively
​- confusion may have arisen in the interpretation​ of a Sc, and the
failure helps add clarity
