Statement

For an observable coherent expert, soft Total Trust of the novice over a class of bounded variables is equivalent to asymptotic Epistemic Value over the same class under the generalized strictly proper scoring rules.

Source

Dorst, Levinstein, Salow, Husic and Fitelson, "Deference Done Better", Philosophical Perspectives 35 (2021), Theorem 3.2 (totally trusting an expert with respect to a question is equivalent to expecting its estimates of quantities determined by the question to be more accurate).

Notes

The logical-induction analogue of DDB's accuracy theorem, transported along the wiki's dictionary (deference-notions.md, map to DDB's notions). Its evidence parent is the Brier sketch.
