    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→Weak dominance lacks the epistemic robustness of strict dominance: a weakly dominated strategy remains rational under at least one opponent belief.

    Epistemic robustness is not the only criterion for rationality. A weakly dominated strategy can be epistemically justified if the opponent belief is well-founded through credible information.

    Key Terms

    Credible information(as used in epistemology)
    Information that comes from a trustworthy source and has good reasons to be believed.
    Epistemic robustness(as used in epistemology (the study of knowledge))
    How well a belief holds up when challenged or tested; the quality of being based on strong evidence that doesn't easily fall apart.
    Epistemically justified(as used in epistemology (the study of knowledge))
    Having good, solid reasons or evidence that make a belief or claim reasonable to accept from a knowledge standpoint.
    Well-founded belief(as used in epistemology)
    A belief that is built on solid evidence or reasons, not just a guess or assumption.
    rationality(Traditional conception being challenged by epistemic relativists)

    A cognitive virtue and hallmark of the scientific method, intimately tied to requirements of consistency, justification, warrant, and evidence for beliefs.
    weakly dominated strategy(Strategic game theory, Lemma 3.2)
    A strategy s_i in S_i is weakly dominated (possibly by a mixed strategy) with respect to a subset X of the opponent strategy space S_{-i} if and only if there is no full support probability measure p in the interior of the simplex over X such that s_i is a best response with respect to p.
