    If sound-mindedness admits of degrees or deficient forms, then some instances of sound-minded behavior may be fine only derivatively or not at all.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Properties admitting degrees typically lack univocal criteria, making derivative instantiation logically possible.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Deficient forms of a capacity may produce outputs resembling proper exercise while lacking required internal conditions.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Sound-mindedness involves multiple sub-capacities; partial degradation could yield behavior that's instrumentally useful but epistemically compromised.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Behavioral outcomes either satisfy functional criteria for sound-mindedness or they don't; derivativeness adds no explanatory work.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Distinguishing 'derivative' from 'genuine' soundness requires prior standards independent of degree-admission, making the inference circular.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Lucky successful outcomes from deficient reasoning are accidents, not 'fine derivatively'—fineness requires apt cognitive processes, not just results.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
