    It is not the case that Players in knowledge games must use uniform strategies, saying the same thing in all states they cannot distinguish.

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

    Reasons For

    2 perspectives
    Reason for 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 for 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.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Knowledge games are conducted under imperfect information.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Players may not know the true state of their epistemic model.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Under imperfect information, relevant strategies must be uniform.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
