Asked about Work nobody can follow has not landed

Why state limitations explicitly?

An answer that works

An unacknowledged limitation found by a reviewer reads as a flaw. The same limitation stated by the author reads as scope and rigour. It also stops readers drawing conclusions the evidence does not support.

Then they push further

What separates a real limitation from a decorative one?

Whether writing it costs you something. A real limitation narrows a claim you made, says which direction it would move the result, and is checkable — all four collections are English technical documentation, and we expect the gain to shrink on prose without headings because the method keys on section boundaries. A decorative one could be pasted into any paper in the field: results may not generalise to all settings. Reviewers read hundreds of the second kind and discount them instantly.

Reading an answer is not being able to give one. The section that teaches this is Work nobody can follow has not landed, 5 hours of Writing & communication.
