Summary
Here, I list ten important issues where I think that there is a significant risk of misunderstandings among those who are new to the field. After each potential misunderstanding, there is a statement of the correct situation, as I perceive it. Many of these issues are related to the rationale underlying the emergence of evo-devo as a (relatively) new discipline.
