      Ugh. Please no. That article is absolutely *terrible*. Written, I’m afraid to say, by an old lecturer of mine. And as I said weeks back about it: https://twitter.com/tokteacher/status/1063977287295492096?s=21 … There’s a couple of places to go for fallibilism. Following this Tweet I’ll link to two:

      Strangely, perhaps, my old "Logic" lecturer from uni wrote this very long article on "fallibilism": https://www.iep.utm.edu/fallibil/#H8  I don't recall ever hearing of the concept from him - just as well. It's confused from beginning to end, fixated on JTB & fails to mention Popper even once.

      In which way does fallibilism go beyond the obvious insight that every positive statement composed by a probabilistic mind or based on probabilistic observation has some non-zero probability of being wrong?

      For one, none of that is obvious. One can be a Bayesian fallibilist (I might think that’s obvious, but apparenty you may not) but actually none of this is a matter of probability as they think. We should *expect* things to be wrong & that’s not “probable” http://www.bretthall.org/bayesian-epistemology.html …

      But how does fallibilism go beyond the claim we can be wrong? It doesn’t in one sense. In other: that runs exceedingly deep. For example: the claim that “x is 43% probably wrong” is an *infallibilist* claim. So fallibilism is subtle like that.

      Hm. Statements like "it is possible for a theory to be correct" don't strike me as questionable. I am willing to admit that my memory of the statement may now be wrong and I possibly introduced typos or that I was temporarily incoherent when I wrote it. Does that need a name?

      Absolutely. But "correct" in fallibilism means "fallibly correct" too! So "General Relativity is correct". That's unproblematic. But for many that means "The final word". Yet for us it means "Contains truth, we don't know which, and it's the best theory, yet ultimately false."

      GR is obviously false as a theory of reality, but is it not inaccurate that no theory could be true? For instance, I think that my computer runs MacOS. Do you think that this theory is ultimately false?

          I think the way Popperians (inc. me) think ideas that seem obviously true are actually false is that they contradict some deeper theory yet to be understood, and that there's always such a theory. So, "my computer runs MacOS" - not if identity ("my") is ontologically incoherent.

          Yes. I’m fallible though! (But besides, my, your or anyone else’s being unable to think of how it couldn’t possibly be false is no refutation whatsoever of fallibility. It just means: we’re fallible. We can’t think of all the errors that might be made. Yet: error is ubiquitous).

          See BOI or Popper. No theory can be proved true. Which makes perfect sense. You've got that, correct?

          It's not a theory in any meaningful sense. Just word play. Is 2+2= 4 a TRUE theory? Is neither true or false as a theory because it doesn't say anything. A Mac IS a Mac OS. 2+2 IS 4.

          Your example demonstrates inter-subjective naming or labeling. We all agree to call that thing WORD. Unless you really don't know what the OS is and you are conjecturing? That is a local theory. It doesn't reach beyond your laptop.
