Notes

  1. His norms are: “1. We commit ourselves to our claims and to their logical entailments Our claims and their entailments become our commitments [199]. … 2. When we make a claim, we imply that we are entitled to that claim. To be entitled to a claim is to have good reasons and evidence for it [199]. … 3. We should try to support our claims with reasons and evidence that are maximally accessible to others [200]. … 4. We invite criticism and challenges to our own claims, and when our claims are appropriately challenged, we are obliged to justify them with reasons and evidence [202]. …5. We are entitled to treat our commitments as rationally innocent until proven guilty [204]. … 6. We should withdraw from commitments to which we are not rationally entitled [205].”
