    Challenges→A strategy that is not strictly dominated need not be admissible

    If the full-support condition in P2 is not a necessary feature of admissibility but an artifact of orthodox Bayesianism, the logical gap between non-domination and admissibility that grounds the claim does not hold generally.

    Key Terms

    Full-support condition(as used in epistemology and decision theory)
    A technical requirement in probability theory that says evidence must completely back up a conclusion for it to be considered valid.
    Logical gap(as used in logic)
    A break or disconnect in reasoning where a conclusion doesn't necessarily follow from the premises that come before it.
    Necessary feature(as used in logic and metaphysics)
    Something that must be present for something else to work or be true; without it, the whole thing fails.
    Orthodox Bayesianism(as used in epistemology and decision theory)
    The standard approach to probability and reasoning developed from Thomas Bayes' ideas, which uses mathematical rules to update beliefs based on new evidence.

    The principle that proposition (7) is true if and only if George Bush does not exist — a modalized instance of the Tarski truth-schema 's is true iff s'.
    admissibility(Game-theoretic decision theory; contrasted with the weaker condition of not being strictly dominated)
    A strategy is admissible if it is a best response to a belief (probability measure) that assigns positive probability to every possible choice of the opponents — i.e., a full-support probability measure

    A feature in a micrograph produced by the methods of preparation rather than by actual structures in the cell
    non-domination(Used to characterize the protective function of federal arrangements)
    A condition in which minority groups or nations are secured against arbitrary or undue exercise of power by central authorities.
