Principlev1
When multiple credentialed experts contradict each other,
When multiple credentialed experts contradict each other, treat their disagreement as a map of where current evidence is insufficient rather than as evidence that expertise is worthless.
Why This Is a Principle
Grounds to Systematic Overconfidence Taxonomy (systematic overconfidence), Scientific Paradigms Are Incommensurable (scientific paradigms are incommensurable), and Domain-Specific Calibration Development (calibration develops from domain-specific feedback). The principle prescribes how to interpret expert disagreement, deriving from axioms about confidence, paradigms, and domain-specific knowledge limits. It's prescriptive and general.
