No, what I got was “modest epistimology doesn’t make any sense in these precise situations when civilizational inadequacy applies”. That’s an incredibly hedgehoggy way to look at modest epistemology.
A more foxxy way would be something like “apply the frames of both modest and immodest epistemologies, as well as the frame of civilizational inadequacy, then using data from all of these frames, make your decision.
