corrigibility

Of course there is an unusually strong element of corrigibility in this particular story.

Defeasibility as corrigibility: Here, a person learns something new that annuls a prior inference.

A frequently mentioned, and as often criticised, criterion is that of 'corrigibility': the idea is that syntactic deviances can be readily corrected, whereas semantic deviances cannot.

Ignatieff (1978) suggests that Bentham like the prison reformer John Howard, also arrived at the idea of the corrigibility of man by re-education directed at the mind, albeit it by a different route.

Defeasible reasoning is a particular kind of non-demonstrative reasoning, where the reasoning does not produce a full, complete, or final demonstration of a claim, i.e., where fallibility and corrigibility of a conclusion are acknowledged.

Moreover, the notion of corrigibility is itself suspect: strictly speaking, one can only correct an utterance when one knows what the speaker intended to say, and this is not the case with the specially constructed sentences used in semantic analysis.
