A belief being dogmatic isn’t about adequacy of evidence or lack thereof. It’s about that belief being one that must be held to be in fully good standing with the organization for which it is a dogma. I think we can reasonably say the FSF’s teaching on software freedom is at least something very much like dogmatic.
I happen to believe they’re essentially right, but we live in an imperfect world and I still want my microcode bugs patched so I do that.
- Retric 2y agoI’ve only seen something called dogmatic when it lacks obvious justification. Don’t operate heavy machinery while drunk is a lesson people and organizations learn over and over. Would you say it’s dogmatic?
