Bible Verses Where The Word “Wicked” Has Been Replaced With “Problematic”btw, en route to re-finding that article Google appropriately suggested I reread the Wikipedia article on
wicked problemsRittel and Webber's 1973 formulation of wicked problems in social policy planning specified ten characteristics:[3][4]
1.There is no definitive formulation of a wicked problem.
2.Wicked problems have no stopping rule.
3.Solutions to wicked problems are not true-or-false, but good or bad.
4.There is no immediate and no ultimate test of a solution to a wicked problem.
5.Every solution to a wicked problem is a "one-shot operation"; because there is no opportunity to learn by trial and error, every attempt counts significantly.
6.Wicked problems do not have an enumerable (or an exhaustively describable) set of potential solutions, nor is there a well-described set of permissible operations that may be incorporated into the plan.
7.Every wicked problem is essentially unique.
8.Every wicked problem can be considered to be a symptom of another problem.
9.The existence of a discrepancy representing a wicked problem can be explained in numerous ways. The choice of explanation determines the nature of the problem's resolution.
10.The social planner has no right to be wrong (i.e., planners are liable for the consequences of the actions they generate).
... Thus wicked problems are also characterised by the following:
1.The solution depends on how the problem is framed and vice versa (i.e., the problem definition depends on the solution)
2.Stakeholders have radically different world views and different frames for understanding the problem.
3.The constraints that the problem is subject to and the resources needed to solve it change over time.
4.The problem is never solved definitively
