Interpretation dependence
againstThis argument, if it holds, weighs against the claim.constitution →Operational and test data provide evidence about system risk independently of the arguments that cite them
The argument
Because the evidential weight of test data for operational risk depends on assumptions about test representativeness and operational-profile fidelity, extracting any conclusion about risk from data requires an interpretive warrant of the same kind an argument supplies; on this view evidence detached from all argument is unexplained, and its bearing on risk is never wholly argument-free.
Does it work?
Not yet evaluated.
Premises
- UnassessedNo current assessment. Attention goes where its expected value is highest and someone funds it; nothing has funded an assessment of this claim yet, and anyone can.constitution →The evidential weight of test data for operational risk depends on assumptions about test representativeness
