      @iDanSimpson 'Shat upon' does seem unlikely to mean 'expressed some reservations abt/have some points of disagreement with.'

      Of course, but I never want to assume. Definitions are important

      Indeed. Clarifying what someone means is important.I hate getting bogged down in semantics tho. What is meant is more important

      How can I tell what someone means without asking? Am I supposed to assume?

      Not sure a street epistemology approach works for challenging a pragmatic argument. Better looking at reasoning & circumstance?

      Not sure I agree. SE helped me understand James' original statement. He clarified along the way and told me why he believes it.

      SE style works equally well on all claims, but the quality of exploration of the validity of justification for certainty of belief often >

      I think it can but when between two ppl who both know how this works, a less formal 'can you explain your reasoning?' better?

      Coz the assumption is there that someone requires an intervention to instill doubt re: an unsubstantiated truth claim.

      So its a bit uneven for when two people suspect they might have different opinions on strategy re: outcome of an election?

          Think that kind of conversation works best on comparing arguments. In this case, it cld be pragmatics vs principles. Not sure.

          Imo a Hillary vote is pragmatic but not merely so. Also very principled to directly oppose dangerous threat to U S.

          I understand. I thought it was relevant based on the original argument between them.

          Only to say that it doesn't seem to have to be pragmatic vs. principle if you're being pragmatic out of principle.

          I know what you mean. I got held up here for ages disagreeing with ppl who opposed them.

          But decided this a semantic issue. Had this epiphany today!https://twitter.com/HPluckrose/status/795335545639596032 …

          If I see some principles to do with human wellbeing as inviolable values, then the rest is a balance & compromise.
