Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Des analystes et des acteurs sociaux interprètent le principe de précaution comme une règle d’abstention devant le risque environnemental et sanitaire, et demandent de faire de la preuve de l’innocuité d’un produit ou d’une technique une exigence préalable à toute autorisation. La pensée de Hans Jonas est souvent mobilisée pour défendre cette interprétation catastrophiste du risque. L’article montre que la norme de décision proposée par Jonas, désignée comme règle d’abstention n° 1, conduit à une impasse pratique et à la démesure morale. L’exigence de preuve de l’innocuité, règle d’abstention n° 2, n’en est qu’une caricature encore moins défendable. L’étude du problème posé par l’épidémie d’encéphalopathie spongiforme bovine (ESB) confirme empiriquement la fausseté d’une posture confondant la prévention de risques potentiels avec la recherche de la certitude de l’absence de tout dommage ultérieur. Tel n’est pas l’objet du principe de précaution, qui vise des mesures de prévention précoces mais proportionnées.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
