摘要
在最近的一篇论文中,Yoaav Isaacs, Alan Hájek和John Hawthorne通过与不可测量的空间区域相关的某些命题来论证“信用不精确”的理性允许性:例如,旋转器的指针将停在其周长上某个不可测量的点集合内的命题。本文反驳了他们的论点,表明其前提导致难以置信的结果,当一个人试图学习的情况下,通过多次观察,一个特定的结果是否与一个不可测量的区域或可测量的区域相关联。
In a recent paper, Yoaav Isaacs, Alan Hájek, and John Hawthorne argue for the rational permissibility of ’credal imprecision’ by appealing to certain propositions associated with non-measurable spatial regions: for example, the proposition that the pointer of a spinner will come to rest within a certain non-measurable set of points on its circumference. This paper rebuts their argument by showing that its premises lead to implausible consequences in cases where one is trying to learn, by making multiple observations, whether a certain outcome is associated with a non-measurable region or a measurable one.
