 Wallace and Greaves (2005) assert that the weighted quadratic measures “can take account of the value of verisimilitude.” They suggest this can be done “by a judicious choice of the coefficients” (i.e., the \(\lambda\)–values). They go on to say: “… we simply assign high \(\lambda_A\) when \(A\) is a set of ’close’ states.” (Wallace and Greaves 2005, 628). ’Close’ here presumably means ’close to the actual world’. But whether an answer \(A\) contains complete answers that are close to the actual world – that is, whether \(A\) is truthlike – is clearly a world-dependent matter. The coefficients \(\lambda_A\) were not intended by the authors to be world-dependent. (But whether or not the co-efficients of world-dependent or world-independent the quadratic measures cannot capture truthlikeness. See Oddie 2019.)
