10-2g1f3 We can only figure out what they know by what they do ('performance'), because we can never directly study what people know ('competence'). To assert that we can is a common error in thinking.

1-2g2j1b Accuracy in virtual reality = The relationship between theory and experiment in science. That is, you can never prove-experience-measure-certify that it’s accurate-true program.

• 1-2g1b What matters is the explanation, and not what you can see

• 1-2g2c1 Testability matters only when you have a good explanation (hard-to-vary explanation)

  • E.g., exams can’t exhaustively measure its students’ competence, but it’s the one of few ways by which we can indirectly test them via their performances.develop

We must interpret other humans:

In praxeological terms:

• 13-6f Praxeology is concerned with that part of value scales that can be ascertained from actions
• 13-8a2b Prices do not exhaust value scales, but value scales can be ascertained only through prices in money economy
• 13-8a2c Value scales are ascertainable from the real actions, not vice versa—because value scales cannot be exhausted
