B.5.TC:6 - Bias-Annotation

A shared question can favor the account that originally framed it. Retain a rival’s newly expressible question when it opens useful inquiry; compare that contribution on its own terms. Conversely, unfamiliar notation can make an ordinary operation appear novel. Recover the operation before crediting or rejecting the account.

The cases use small formal constructions so their decisive steps can be inspected. They demonstrate the comparison method, with domain premises stated in each case. A difficult real application can need specialist knowledge, uncertain premises and more than one iteration. Human, AI and collective contributions can participate in the comparison; claims about their learning or reliability require their own basis.
