However what remains a bit of a black box is "exercised judgment." What does that mean and what are the principles needed and steps to be taken so that creators and critics can have confidence in that judgment? We talk about "judgment" but haven't really explained it in a way that's then portable to any domain.</div><div class="protonmail_quote">JG</div><div class="protonmail_quote">-------- Original Message --------<br>On Wednesday, 09/02/26 at 23:06 Tara Maya via extropy-chat <extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org> wrote:<br><blockquote class="protonmail_quote"><div dir="ltr"></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; background-color: #fff">"What matters more is whether a human genuinely governed the inquiry, sufficiently verified the claims, exercised judgment, endorsed the result, and stands behind it."</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; background-color: #fff"><br></span></div><div dir="ltr"><font face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: #fff">I think this is the correct rubric.
