When extending judgment or confidence from a
When extending judgment or confidence from a high-calibration domain to a low-calibration domain, explicitly downgrade your confidence level and apply structured meta-cognitive protocols rather than relying on the portable feeling of expertise.
Why This Is a Principle
This principle follows from Systematic Overconfidence Taxonomy (overconfidence), Domain-Specific Calibration Development (calibration is domain-specific and requires feedback), and Expertise as Domain-Specific Schema Organization (expertise doesn't transfer). It prescribes a correction: recognize domain boundaries and adjust confidence accordingly. It is actionable and applies the axioms about domain-specificity and overconfidence.
