    It is not the case that A definition of counter-example that excludes absence ranges cannot account for cases where partial location generates genuine epistemic defeat of the inference relation itself.

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Absence ranges already formalize gaps; excluding them arbitrarily removes tools needed for this specific logical problem.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Partial location's defeat effects can be modeled within standard counter-example frameworks without redefining core concepts.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The claim conflates epistemological defeat with definitional inadequacy; the definition may be fine, the application unclear.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Partial location creates genuine epistemic gaps where absence ranges fail to capture the actual defeat mechanism.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Standard counter-example definitions assume complete propositional content, but partial location operates at a different logical level.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Inference relations can be defeated by what is structurally absent, not just by positive counter-instances present in a domain.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
