It is quite the same as the argument of sincerity because Williams conducts his research in a genealogical approach. Thus, accuracy actually comes from the social activity conducted by humans. When we obtain information, we consider its cost. This will involve an investment. We are willing to pay a certain amount of cost to obtain knowledge and truth. Accuracy counts as a virtue precisely because truth-seeking meets obstacles.
这与真诚性的论点颇为相似,因为威廉姆斯采用谱系学的方法进行研究。因此,准确性实际上源于人类所进行的社会活动。当我们获取信息时,会考虑其成本。这涉及一种投入。我们愿意付出一定的成本来获取知识和真理。准确性之所以被视为一种美德,正是因为寻求真理会遇到障碍。
