Knowledge Norm of Assertion

The Knowledge Norm of Assertion suggests that you should only make claims or assertions if you genuinely know what you're talking about. In other words, it's not enough to believe something; you should have enough evidence or understanding to be confident that what you're asserting is true. This norm helps foster honest and reliable communication, as it encourages speakers to only share information they truly understand and are justified in believing. It aims to prevent people from making unsupported or false claims, promoting more trustworthy conversations.
