In a phenomenographic study, we previouslyidentified four distinct approaches towards the problem1,2. In an order of increasing complexity,these approaches are called (A.) simplify and avoid, (B.) divide and control, (C.) isolate andsuccumb, and (D.) integrate and balance. Approach A is characterized by a general lack ofsincere engagement with the problem. Approach B represents an instrumental approach todealing with the problem. The problem is assumed to be divisible into independent parts that canbe solved in isolation from each other. Approach C differs from approach B in
