@simon Yes, it’s hard for humans, too. Even when I’m writing about strictly technical topic where truth should be objective and easy to verify, there is still a huge amount of judgement. Sometimes I have to generalize to introduce a new topic, or give just part of the explanation that’s appropriate for a certain audience because the full truth would only cause confusion. An expert reading the thing written for a novice might object it’s inaccurate. So many judgement calls

@simon at one job (as a technical writer) I had to write a “truthiness standard” because I opened documentation authoring up to the whole company and quickly learned my internalized judgement calls about determining the accuracy of technical sources were in no way intuitive to most people. And again, this is technical information where (theoretically) it is possible to verify objective facts. If we get into more fuzzy areas where humans don’t agree? So much harder.
