- The loop can degrade into single-loop tinkering — endlessly adjusting the stocking rate while never questioning whether the objective itself is obsolete — which is why the discipline of double-loop learning, revising the governing goal and not just the action
This sourceDistinguishes correction within unchanged governing goals from double-loop learning that questions and revises the goals or policies themselves.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
