The converse argument — that journalists should be allowed to promise confidentiality to their sources, and the courts should honor those promises — was made by Justice William O. Douglas, in a dissenting opinion in the Branzburg case.
However, the converse argument has been used to justify its introduction: the widening of the definition by the tribunals of what amounts to a qualifying disclosure has enabled opportunistic employees to make protected disclosures regarding purely private matters, such as issues regarding their individual employment contracts.
Thus, the remaining steps in the converse argument are inspired by the techniques used in [35 37] for outer bounding the degrees-of-freedom of the MIMO interference channel.
Thus, to conclude the converse argument, we will now prove the following Genie-aided outer bound on the sum degrees-of-freedom which coincides with the sum-degrees-of-freedom constraint on the achievable region.
The similar, cytotoxic or sarcomatogenous behavior of chemically different materials (e.g. amosite, chrysotile, aluminum oxide) exhibits the necessary converse argument.
Accepting generalised conservatism about epistemic justification would have the converse effect: any argument satisfying the antecedent of (LP) would also satisfy the information-dependence template (cf. Davies 2009).
As with the simple Rule of Conditionalization, Skyrms (1987b) shows that there is also a converse Dutch Strategy argument showing that following Jeffrey's Rule avoids a Dutch Book.
The fact that there is a converse Dutch Book argument, as Skyrms (1987b) provides, shows that the trouble is avoided by adhering to the Rule of Conditionalization, which has virtues over the sort of diminished system of beliefs that avoids inconsistency by shunning an updating rule.
The following example shows that the converse of the above argument is not true.
According to this argument the converse also holds: "'Green' means green" follows directly from "'Green' ought to be applied to x if and only if x is green" (c.f. Gibbard 2012: 12 and 113-115).
