someone who knows more about a topic than you do, making them an authority on the topic over you.

uniformity of nature
the uniformity of nature is that the universe is consistent. what is true in past will hold true in future, unexperienced situations if it follows this uniformity. we can infer through induction(though it is not 100%)
how is an inductive argument assessed?
through likelihood, it is either strong or weak. not right or wrong.
pragmatic theory of truth
A belief can be considered true if it proves helpful, useful, practical and leads to a positive outcome. If it works in practice, it is true
