epistemic uncertainty
I find myself in the embarrassing position of not knowing what that term refers to...
EDIT A few upvotes but no definitions. In case it wasn't clear, can someone tell me what "epistemic uncertainty" means, if it is a thing.
Isn't it simply the extent to which one is not certain about some (piece of) knowledge? At least that was my intuition when I first read that.
After googling, the closest definition I could find was on Wikipedia under systemic uncertainty--in contrast to statistical uncertainty (aleatoric uncertainty) apparently.
I'm sure most of us are used to just being able to badger him about things in the comments here on LW, but for anyone interested here's the link.
