 In more detail: The first component of Joyce’s account of epistemic disutility for credences is the claim—which we will call Credal Veritism, partly following Goldman (2002: 58)—that the only source of value for credences that is relevant to their epistemic status is their gradational accuracy, where the gradational accuracy of a credence in a true proposition is higher when the credence is closer to 1, which we might think of as the ideal or vindicated credence in a true proposition, while the gradational accuracy of a false proposition is higher when the credence is closer to 0, which we might think of as the ideal or vindicated credence in a false proposition. Thus, the only source of disvalue for credences is their gradational inaccuracy.
