[abetusk]

From Wiktionary [0]:

> Carefully aware of all circumstances; considerate of all that is pertinent.

"I wish more people would put more consideration of all that is pertinent about the genre of problem they're trying to solve and how their framing railroads them ..."

[JadeNB]

Ah, I thought you meant that you wished people who talked in public about their approaches to a problem (as Norvig and Jeffries did) would talk more about their framings. I think I now understand that you mean that you wish individual people would analyze their own framing for their own use, not (just) for the purposes of other people learning from them.

(I also am more familiar with the sense of "circumspect" from the macOS dictionary, "wary and unwilling to take risks," which seemed totally out of line. The Wiktionary meaning makes more sense.)

Yes, in fact it seems strange to me that the Wiktionary entry (currently) lists only one definition, which doesn't even match its example sentence very well.

"Being aware of the danger of upsetting her audience, she was somewhat circumspect in her comments."

Here the word doesn't mean "carefully considerate of all pertinent circumstances"; it means exactly what is to me the usual sense of the word in American English: "cautious; beating around the bush; indirect; allusive; judicious; cagey."
