Distinguish epistemic confidence (grounded in evidence)…
Distinguish epistemic confidence (grounded in evidence) from psychological confidence (grounded in identity and familiarity) by requiring an external validation trail for the former.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Systematic Overconfidence Taxonomy (overconfidence patterns) and Cognitive Dissonance Drives Information Avoidance (cognitive dissonance). Prescribes creating external validation documentation as a way to separate warranted from unwarranted confidence. This is actionable guidance for calibration.
