I’m pretty certain that I can pass the ITT for both law and tool thinking, but it’s complicated because undwrneath Tool Thinking is the belief that there are things about thinking that need to be concealed, which implies that it will generally oppose an accurate account of it’s actual beliefs. In Law Thinking, every truth reveals every other truth and concealment is impossible in theory and impractical in the long term in practice. If things need to be concealed, it’s important to oppose the possibility of inference.
underneath Tool Thinking is the belief that there are things about thinking that need to be concealed
Why do you think this? By “things about thinking”, do you mean like, the criteria for deciding which tool to use? If so:
I think people do sometimes deploy toolbox-thinking in cases where they want to conceal why exactly they chose one tool over another. Lots of ethical debates go this way. But more often, it’s about complexity rather than concealment: we choose our tools based on a myriad of small, nebulous, overlapping patterns, learned from diverse sources, some difficult to express in words, and the collective mass of them too large to communicate.
