Statement
The reliabilist definition of 2023 is operative: a mode of reasoning is legitimate when it has a reliable tendency toward the truth, and endorsement is the attitude such reasoning earns.

The maintainer's post Meaning & Agency (LessWrong, 2023-12-19, https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/bnnhypM5MXBHAATLw/meaning-and-agency), section on legitimacy: "a mode of reasoning is legitimate if it has a reliable tendency toward the truth. Correct mathematical proofs are legitimate. The scientific method, when carried out well, is legitimate. Wireheading is not legitimate."
