- - - - who determines the accuracy of knowledge?
        
        how do we determine if something is accurate? when we think of accuracy and being accurate, do we think of it becoming closer to the truth, or more relevant to reality?
        
        1) a little more closer to the truth = Plato's definition of truth 2) Justified true belief
        3) correspondence truth test
      - we can also interpret this differently, and say that, NO knowledge was NOT "less accurate" in the past, it just was not as detailed and informed and advanced as it is today. So it is not so much that it was less accurate in the past, because without the knowledge in the past (egs of trials and errors, failures and successes), we would not be able to learn from other's mistakes and build upon them, to create the new "more accurate" knowledge that we are presented with today. so the knowledge in the past was not less accurate, for we have used it to develop the knowledge we have today.
        
        in our counterclaim,to state that knowledge has not become more accurate over time, is it right to say that it has remained stagnant, or remained as it was in the past, which is "less accurate" or "inaccurate"? DOES THE COUNTERCLAIM "NO IT HAS NOT BECOME MORE ACCURATE OVER TIME" SUGGEST THAT IT REMAINS INACCURATE? > DOES REMAINING STAGNANT, OR HAVING NO NEW DEVELOPMENT MEAN THAT THE KNOWLEDGE IS STILL INACCURATE?
        
        errors make the claim more accurate---- surfacing of new evidence - causes it to become more accurate. the greater availability of resources has affected the accuracy and dents it and questions the accuracy of it. something becomes more "less accurate" when its theories don't apply or fit anymore, and when new evidence surfaces to question the reliability and accuracy of this claim/ particular piece of knowledge. As such, knowledge becomes more accurate, when it can be used to explain theories and certain phenomenas, without any questions or doubts.
- - - - so then what is considered as inaccurate and false, and whats are the grounds and basis on which we can deem it as false
      - but how do we know if accuracy has developed? - because
- - - - from 51 regions to 151 regions represented by regions, korbdian had an image - draw lines for region 2. the fact that today there are 151 regions - can be accounted due to the advancement in technology. and improvements in methodology. do errors contribute to accuracy.
        
        errors make the theories more accurate and it finally contribute to a more accurate model because scientists find a more
        
        natural sciences is an AOK based on experimentation, new hypothesis, testing, trials and new methodologies. it involves making observations , questioning, producing a hypothesis, testing, analysing results and finally drawing conclusions.
        
        creation of new paradigms
        
        it is an AOK where production of knowledge is done by the building upon prior epistemological foundations to create new theories.
      - methodology, errors in explanation and contributions by other scientists leads to the development of other more accurate theories. - by solving, modifying and refining the theory, it becomes more accurate and is able to explain new phenomenons.
  - - - evidence such as past records and books, videos, contemporary documents.
- - - - Natural Sciences : intuition and reason and memory
- - - - natural sciences
        
        new theories postulated
        
        errors show that the claim is not accurate.

    - - surfacing of new evidence - causes it to become more accurate but this can turn against it too. greater availability of resources has affects the accuracy and dents it and questions the accuracy of it. IN REPRESENTING AND EXPLAINING AND PREDICTING THE PHENOMENON, THEY CAN USE THIS THEORY TO EXPLAIN ANOTHER PART OF PHENOMENON. - questions the accuracy of current accepted knowledge
      - quantitative and qualitative knowledge - specify which type of knowledge
