#5440·Dennis HackethalOP, about 6 hours agoNeil Hudson emphasizes that “the procedure by which HTV is implemented cannot itself become the authority that decides which criticisms count. Its criteria, classifications and outputs would themselves have to remain conjectural and open to independent criticism - including criticism not already licensed by the procedure itself. Otherwise HTV has ceased to be a fallible aid to criticism and has become a final epistemic tribunal.”

The UI can show a *tentative* result. The result can change with more user input. All input remains criticizable.

Again, I’m not looking for a criterion of truth or some guarantee of infallibility, which I know can’t exist. I’m looking for a criterion of rationality, which I know can: https://x.com/dchackethal/status/2091272979791659054
The word “again” refers to my previous remarks about fallibility here.
