Judgment
Judgment is the work of evaluating, endorsing, and arranging claims when fluent output is easy to produce.
Working Definition
The inquiry uses judgment to name the human act that remains scarce under synthetic conditions: deciding what should be kept, what should be rejected, and what one is willing to defend.
Structural Expansion
Judgment matters because generative systems can supply coherence without settling value, relevance, or tradeoff. The central problem shifts from making language to answering for the decisions embedded within it.
