The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The term was coined in the late 19th century by the American philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce in response to foundationalism.
- Theorists, following Austrian-British philosopher Karl Popper, may also refer to fallibilism as the notion that knowledge might turn out to be false.
- Furthermore, fallibilism is said to imply corrigibilism, the principle that propositions are open to revision.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Fallibilism article was read about 38,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 60 and blocks with 45: each hit it takes is cut by 18 %.
