A claim le jinvi concedes could be proved false due to inconclusiveness
of evidence? Partially supported inductive reasoning?
And thus different from djuno in its "is convinced" interpretation,
which claims that le djuno thinks his evidence to be sufficiently strong
to support the claim, without conceding the possibility of being wrong;
i.e. le se djuno is reasoning thought to be inductively complete? If so,
I agree completely. The only thing that continues to bug me is birti,
see my other post...

Right.
