 Before we consider how to measure inaccuracy in the next section, let’s consider the claim that verisimilitude or truthlikeness is a further source of epistemic utility. It is most easily introduced by an example. Suppose I am interested in how many stars there are on the flag of Suriname. I have credences in three propositions: 1 (which says there’s one star), 2 (which says there are two), and 3 (which says three). In fact, there is one star on the flag.
