The difficult question now is whether this deliberate non-conclusion, this fruitless wondering, this worthless expense of time is replicated in the reading experience.
Conclusion-based rules, finally, produce consistent collective judgment sets by construction, but always leave non-conclusions undecided.
We've gone from the treacly Hallmark endings of the 50s, to the iconoclastic jolt of 60s/70s dramas with their non-conclusion conclusions and jarringly unanswered questions.
Or - as Republican strategist Mary Matalin argued - is that impossible given how the word is "described by liberals today?" And so it went: point and counter point on the road to non-conclusion.
To be sure, the finale was littered with non-conclusions, contradictions and plain old absurdities.
Steven Hales, for instance, argues that faced with disagreement and given non-neutrality, relativism is the most viable non-skeptical conclusion to draw (Hales 2006: 98; 2014).
By signing it "European climate scientists", the impression could easily be gained that our belief was a non-negotiable conclusion of our scientific work.
The first conjunct ('is greater than each individual's probability') is the non-asymptotic conclusion, the second ('converges to 1') the asymptotic conclusion.
For this kind of disagreement, Stevenson shared the non-cognitivist conclusion of the logical positivists, according to which there would be no rational or scientific method for mediating among conflicting opinions by an appeal to their future consequences.
Camus takes his skepticism as far as possible as a form of methodical doubt that is, he begins from a presumption of skepticism until he finds the basis for a non-skeptical conclusion.
Experience also, according to the Epicureans, supports the inference to, and hence justifies one in accepting, the (non-evident) conclusion that all human beings, everywhere and at all times, are rational (for detailed discussion, cf. Allen 2001, 194-241).
