    It is not the case that If rule-following is constitutively open-ended and community-dependent, the regulative ideal of a complete, doubt-proof interpretation has no coherent stopping condition.

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

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Open-endedness of interpretation doesn't entail the ideal itself is incoherent; ideals can be regulative without being attainable.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Communities do establish pragmatic stopping conditions through consensus and institutional authority, even if theoretically revisable.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Confusing the underdetermination of rules with absence of stopping conditions equivocates 'indeterminate' with 'having no determinable endpoints.'
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Community interpretation is always revisable by future participants, making any stopping point provisional rather than final.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Rules lack intrinsic content; their meaning emerges through use, which is inherently extended across time and context.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Doubt-proof interpretation assumes closure when meaning-making is fundamentally an ongoing social practice without terminal states.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
