    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.If R defeats reliability conditions, R undermines the very standards by which the project's outputs are justified.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Presuppositions are only 'intact' if they remain epistemically operative; defeated conditions render them inert.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Coherence requires consistency between what a project claims to preserve and what its own logic actually permits.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Reliability conditions and presuppositions operate at different levels; defeating one need not touch the other.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.A presupposition can remain logically intact even if practical reliability is undermined by external factors R.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Coherence applies to explicit claims, not to unstated background assumptions that projects don't formally endorse.
