    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Many genuine insights involve non-propositional shifts in how we grasp concepts; dismissing these ignores real cognitive phenomena.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Ineffability doesn't entail epistemically inaccessible; practitioners can reliably recognize authentic understanding through behavioral markers and consistency.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The criterion's inaccessibility to external observers doesn't prevent first-person certainty or coherent self-assessment of one's understanding.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Epistemically inaccessible criteria cannot be verified, compared, or taught, making them unsuitable for evaluating doctrinal comprehension.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Ineffable experiences are inherently private and incommunicable, preventing intersubjective agreement on whether understanding has occurred.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.A meaningful standard requires public criteria allowing independent assessment; subjective awareness shifts fail this requirement.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
