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

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Outcome reliability matters more than process purity; if results are correct, functional status of faculties becomes secondary.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Bypassing flawed faculties can provide corrective feedback that actually improves those faculties through subsequent reflection.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Many reliable systems use external checks on primary mechanisms; this doesn't make primary mechanisms unreliable or improperly functioning.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Reliability of faculties requires their exercise and calibration through experience, not external intervention bypassing them.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Guardian angel intervention treats symptoms (wrong outcomes) rather than causes (defective reasoning processes themselves).
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Proper functioning means faculties work correctly on their own; dependence on bypassing them indicates they remain dysfunctional.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
