    It is not the case that The 'feasible precautions' standard is epistemically indeterminate: commanders cannot know in real-time what precautions were genuinely feasible under fog of war.

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

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Feasibility is determined by available resources, training, and procedures—not information—so uncertainty doesn't render it indeterminate.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Law consistently applies standards like 'reasonable precautions' in uncertain contexts; feasibility indeterminacy would paralyze all legal accountability.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Commanders can know in real-time whether specific precautions (reconnaissance, warnings, delays) are operationally feasible to attempt, regardless of success odds.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Fog of war involves incomplete information about enemy positions, civilian locations, and threat levels that commanders cannot fully resolve in real-time.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Feasibility judgments require counterfactual knowledge of what precautions would have succeeded given unknowable battlefield conditions at decision-time.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Post-hoc investigations with complete information cannot reliably reconstruct what was genuinely feasible under actual uncertainty constraints.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
