Reasoning with Safety Factor Rules.
Safety factor rules are used for drawing putatively reasonable conclusions from incomplete datasets. The paper attempts to provide answers to four questions: "How are safety factors used?", "When are safety factors used?", "Why are safety used?" and "How do safety factor rules relate to decision the...

The paper attempts to provide answers to four questions: "How are safety factors used?", "When are safety factors used?", "Why are safety used?" and "How do safety factor rules relate to decision theory?". The authors conclude that safety factor rules should be regarded as decision methods rather than as criteria of rightness and that they can be used in both practical and theoretical reasoning. Simplicity of application and inability or unwillingness to defer judgment appear to be important factors in explaining why the rules are used. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Techné: Research in Philosophy & Technology is the property of Philosophy Documentation Center and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
