I believe you to be incorrect sir. An heuristic approach to analysis can be applied to any subject under study where a solution to a problem is being sought, whether with or without knowledge or experience in said field of study.
My interpretation of the definition works. One can still use trial and error as a method of analysis with a basic knowledge of a subject matter, thereby gaining experience through self-learning. How's that for you?
Uh... sorry about that. My question "You don't think so?" was referring to my bit there "satisfaction requires complete resolution." Was just inquiring as to your perspective, or whether you agreed or disagreed with my position.
Cheekiness aside, IMO your satisfaction is paramount. Not necessarily attainable, but still top of the heap.
The point of my question was to draw you into conversation on your need for completeness.
As for me, completeness is an impossibility. For every issue, any situation, as we move through time, the basics change. Perception mutates, and solutions present themselves rather like a kaliedoscope: not necessarily random, but also incomplete and only in the moment.
If I have no expectations, then satisfaction is a moot point... for most things.
Yes, I know that is what you were doing.
Although you may not think so, I agree with that last bit. My problem is that 40 years is a hell of a long time to go without a mutation in perception... or existence for that matter. I liken this to a Sudoku puzzle.
Perhaps it is because my personal perceptions and perspective have always been with a wide-angled lens.
Only started playing Sudoku last year. I have found that it allows me to use the bread and butter part of my brain which I have been losing in the past few years.
I may feel or look like this, but without the beer.
Always liked this song by Incubus. "I Miss You"
HAVE I GONE TOTALLY DAFT and SAPPY? Nope. I found this video on YouTube and it made me smile. i.e. "If I promise not to kill you, can I have a hug?"
Need a smile?

I have had the Minions "Banana" clip here for a few years, but lately it has switched to "Autoplay", when the blog is loading, but I don't see it in the embed code, so I've just removed it today. Dec 11, 2016

Almost like spiders weaving madly to keep back the cloud.
Hmm... All I was thinking when I looked up was... this looks weird, I have to take a picture.
Glad you did. The cloud now looks like a battering ram rolling up to the webbic gate.
Heh... I'm still just fixated on the lines.
You focus on what is in front of you, is solid even if doesn't restrain the cloud.
I focus on the cloud, which is in the distance, isn't solid, and just rolls along.
Heh
In this case, and presently, yes, but for others I look at things beyond the beyond, inside and out, backwards and forwards.
Your method sounds vaguely medical.
Sort of heuristic, except perhaps when studying the abstract.
For your method to be even sort of heuristic, you imply prior knowledge and experience of the subject under study.
I believe you to be incorrect sir. An heuristic approach to analysis can be applied to any subject under study where a solution to a problem is being sought, whether with or without knowledge or experience in said field of study.
By definition, an heuristic approach is applying knowledge and experience gained earlier to a new problem. Shorter: 'trial and error.'
Or, are you meaning the second definition, which involves self-learning as exploration of the problem progresses?
Shall I call you Webster?
Who gives order to definitions?

It works like a horse-drawn cart.
:D
My definition or my method in practice?
Calling me Webster.
Your definition and method work so long as the issue, or whatever, is resolved to your satisfaction.
Merriam.
The problem is that more often than not, at least in my case, satisfaction requires complete resolution.
Why is that?
You don't think so?
I guess because I'm weird.
No, my question is why do you feel the need for your solution to be complete.
Not a weirdity on your part, just a curiosity on my part.

You are fortunate. You lack the haughty and self-righteousness of most folks who go decades without changing their perceptions.
Wouldn't you recognition of not changing be proof that you have changed [enough to recognize you haven't changed]?
Never played, nor displayed an interest in Soduku, or Count Duku either.

Count Duku? Star Wars? How about Eliza Dushku?
I have a restraining order on Ms Dushku. She wields a vicious light sabre.
In your dreams maybe.
