It is not the case that A conservative extension result is only as robust as the reconstruction it presupposes, so disputed reconstructions yield disputed conservation results.

Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.
Reasons For
1 perspective
Reason for
?
1.
Some conservation results hold across all reasonable reconstructions, making them robust despite reconstruction disputes.
?
How convincing is this?
Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
2.
A reconstruction can be epistemically uncertain yet still correctly track logical consequences if the disputed elements are irrelevant.
?
How convincing is this?
Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
3.
Robustness degrees exist: results resistant to small reconstruction changes differ from those sensitive to minor reinterpretations.

Reasons Against
1 perspective
Reason against
?
1.
Conservative extension theorems rest on formal mappings between theories; ambiguous reconstructions create multiple possible mappings.
?
How convincing is this?
Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
2.
If two reconstructions differ on which formulas count as theorems, they yield different conservation results for the same theory pair.
?
How convincing is this?
Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
3.
Without consensus on reconstruction, there's no fact of the matter about what the original theory actually claimed or entailed.
?
How convincing is this?
Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
