    Reasons Against

    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Bayesian agents can assign probabilities to indistinguishable states and act on expected utility, not uniform outputs.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Lewis's convention theory allows players to coordinate via salience even across epistemically indistinguishable states.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.A strategy that varies probabilistically across uniform information sets remains well-defined and rational under mixed strategy equilibria.

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Wittgenstein's rule-following considerations show that 'saying the same thing' across contexts is itself interpretation-dependent, not mechanically uniform.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Contextualist semantics (DeRose, Cohen) entails that the content of an assertion shifts with context even when the speaker cannot distinguish those contexts.

    These games are conducted under imperfect information, as players may not know the true state of their epistemic model. Accordingly, the relevant strategies need to be uniform. Players must say the same thing in all states they cannot distinguish. In general, then, many solution concepts produce mixed strategy outcomes. In fact, it can be shown that there exists simple announcement games without any unique equilibrium in pure strategies. However, there is a relevant role for logic to play. Suppo
