**A Question About Inclusion**

The recommendation in “Lessons from Difficult Experiences: Turning Insight into Action” may be useful for experienced or well-resourced participants but difficult for beginners or low-resource groups.

A stronger design would provide minimum, standard and advanced versions of the next action.

**A Constructive Counterpoint**

One possible weakness in discussions about “Lessons from Difficult Experiences: Turning Insight into Action” is the tendency to prioritize speed before confirming that the real problem has been correctly defined.

Moving quickly on the wrong diagnosis can create activity without progress.
