Whether they believe your confidence vs whether they believe their own evidence about your value. If a person is confident, either he’s low-value and lying about it, or he’s high-value and honest. The modus ponens/tollens description is unclear, I think I only used it because it’s a LW shibboleth. (Come to think of it, “shibboleth” is another LW shibboleth.)
Care to explain what they flip exactly?
