What does it mean that scope disambiguation resolves many contradictions?

What seems contradictory is often two statements true in different contexts.

Example: A doctor says 'exercise reduces heart disease risk.' A cardiologist says 'exercise increases risk of cardiac events.' Both are right — the first is talking about habitual moderate exercise over years, the second about vigorous exertion during a single session in someone with existing heart disease. The contradiction dissolves the moment you ask: exercise for whom, what kind, over what timeframe?

Try this: Find a contradiction you currently hold — two beliefs that seem to conflict. Write each one on a separate line. Then, for each, answer three scoping questions: (1) Who does this apply to? (2) Under what conditions? (3) Over what timeframe? Most apparent contradictions will dissolve once the implicit scope of each statement becomes explicit.
