- A related misuse is treating the top rung as immune to demotion, which violates the discipline that even a strongly held belief should never be locked at certainty — Cromwell's rule, that assigning a belief probability one leaves no room for evidence to move it.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
