@St_Rev is untrue things being believed not as bad as untrue things stated boldly? stating boldly seems more calculated to change own belief -
@sarahdoingthing Actually I'm puzzled here. Stating boldly usually strikes me as a status grab. cf http://st-rev.livejournal.com/399666.html -
@St_Rev within peer-ish relationships, though, it's a status RISK - you might lose if wrong, might win (hence motivation to share) if right -
@St_Rev likely to lose even if right, if conclusion is gross/sacredness violation -
@sarahdoingthing Having difficulty following this, very probably becausepic.twitter.com/z8vTGJVKJz

@St_Rev@sarahdoingthing otoh qualifiers can get monotonous. easier when plain "X" can be safely assumed to mean "X-but-I-could-be-wrong" -
@St_Rev@sarahdoingthing which it always does objectively anyway, come to think of it, so it's really just a self-awareness clause
