52. A technique [...] is brought into being and widely
adopted in order to solve specific problems, often of the
most practical type, or to articulate a theory or worldview.
Once a technique is widely practised and professionals are
trained to use it, the technique begins to shape the profession
itself, dictating prejudices, biases and preferences. Some
techniques may be easily adapted to new problems and
approaches, others less; there is limited predictability
regarding adaptability when a technique is created. A
constraining, rigid technique faces increasing challenges
as the profession transforms.
