Originally footnote *8 of (5.1.1.5) Do not mind duplication.
I had two pieces and take the latter. This column explains the reason.
- Move related pieces closer
- Move pieces which may related closer
You can not know in advance whether pieces have a relationship or not. You may find a relationship later.
At first, you come up with a subtle feeling. You feel two pieces may be related. However, you do not have confidence. You do not have a reason why they are related.
After that, as you gather various information, the feeling of a relationship becomes stronger gradually.
Finally, you find the reason why they are related. Now you can explain to others they are related.
Belief begins in a subtle shape and gradually hardens.
In the process of the KJ method, you do not need to show evidence of a relationship. Asking for a firm relationship from the beginning is the same kind of mistake as trying to write a high-quality complete sentence from the beginning.
