    It is not the case that It is incoherent to be sceptical about the identification procedures that confirm spatio-temporal re-identifications while still thinking within the spatio-temporal framework.

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

    Reasons For

    2 perspectives
    Reason for 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Quine's web-of-belief model shows that framework-constitutive principles can be revised under sufficient theoretical pressure without immediate incoherence.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.A skeptic can coherently question re-identification procedures as an internal theoretical revision while provisionally operating within the framework, just as scientists question measurement axioms.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason for 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Wittgenstein's hinge propositions in 'On Certainty' show that framework-enabling beliefs can be doubted in philosophical reflection even if they cannot be acted against in practice.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The performative impossibility of abandoning a framework does not entail the logical incoherence of skeptical doubt about its constitutive procedures, since practical and semantic incoherence are distinct.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Our ability to maintain a grasp on the spatio-temporal framework depends on accepting re-identifications of objects and places encountered at different times.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Rejecting the procedures on which the framework depends while continuing to use the framework is self-undermining.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
