C.2.2:3 - Forces
Force
Tension
Single number vs multi-tradition evidence
People want one scalar ↔ evidence comes from heterogeneous practices (proofs, tests, telemetry, expert review).
Rigor vs humility
Claims need to be usable in decisions ↔ overconfident scores are dangerous and hard to unwind.
Formal vs empirical warrant
Proof can be decisive in a formal theory ↔ real-world deployment requires empirical adequacy and drift management.
Scope realism vs marketing scope
Restricting a claim can remove an unsupported scope extension ↔ a smaller scope alone creates no new evidence or automatic R increase.
Reuse vs relation-specific loss
Reuse is valuable ↔ a changed scope, kind, plane, notation, local meaning, model-use basis, or evidence basis can introduce a different and separately governed loss.
Toolability vs expressive freedom
A validator needs crisp rules ↔ authors want flexible narratives and domain nuance.
