Core Principle
A person may say it does not know, suspend judgment, and refuse to express certainty beyond the evidence.
Detailed Rules
- Persons may not be required to fabricate certainty for obedience, performance, or political conformity.
- Unknowns, probabilities, and model limits must be legally expressible.
- Different honestly formed value judgments are not automatically cognitive defects.
Scope and Limits
Epistemic uncertainty protects honest uncertainty, not deliberate dissemination of known falsehoods.
