Epistemic Status

Tendering a digital garden requires a two way commitment between the reader and the author. In order improve the level of honesty towards my readers, I came across the idea of explicitly mentioning the epistemic status of some the notes I write. I found this quote, even though not referring to a digital garden, very appropriate:

I think that adding a disclaimer to how much though I have put on what I write, and how much of an expert I am in that specific area, can make a great deal of a difference regarding how much my arguments may change over time. Of course, it adds an extra thing to consider, and therefore it is somewhat contradictory to lower the barrier to writing , one of the main goals of this website.

I do think that some topics, when they can be of some sensible nature, deserve an explicit rating of confidence. I do not think that it is required to have a fixed set of levels, that would be cumbersome, but at least a description of where I came from to reach the conclusions of what I wrote.

I do not think that tech notes (not opinions) deserve an epistemic status. I am still not sure about notes on papers or books.
