The Conversational Maxims by #Grice

Of the four categories, the maxims of Quality are the most essential for me:

Supermaxim: Try to make your contribution one that is true.

- Do not say what you believe to be false.
- Do not say that, for which you lack adequate evidence (Grice 1975, #Logic and #Conversation, p. 46).

If insecurity cannot be resolved by conversational #implicatures, if the suspicion of dishonesty remains, then communication fails - in #politics and elsewhere.
