One obvious inspiration for this approach is found in the civil-law standardofproof. In jury decisions this seems acceptable, as the standardofproof for conviction should be higher than that for acquittal. What we face here is not a standardofproof but a pretext-and a flimsy one at that-for a conviction or for an acquittal. And nothing about it is more peculiar than the fact that it offers no free-standing standardofproof. The imputation of irrationality should demand a high standardofproof. No standardofproof can fully eliminate the uncertainty or render the kind of abductive inferences used in legal reasoning truth-preserving. Similarly, the standardofproof for a scientist may differ considerably from that required by a court of law. But in other decision problems, where there is no antecedently privileged alternative, we may require a symmetrical standardofproof. One is 'symmetry' in the epistemic sense: positive decisions are held to the same standardofproof as negative ones. The standardofproof specified what was needed to condemn the defendant. The point of having a standardofproof is precisely to tell one whether one's subjective confidence is justified. Sometimes, yet again, we think that the standardofproof should be 'no reasonable doubt', but that that standard should apply symmetrically to both sides of the proposition. In civil trials, in contrast, the standardofproof is merely 'more likely than not': a probability just over 50 per cent, either way, is sufficient for a decision. Instead, every one of these decision points involves asking whether the case against the accused rises to the standardofproof considered proper to that sort of decision. Against my suggestion it can be argued, not that it is wrongheaded to link severity of punishment with standardofproof, but rather that it is superfluous. Will the same standardofproof—which is now to be the civil standard—apply in both the less serious and the more serious types of case? From the Hansard archive Example from the Hansard archive.
