 This objection threatens convergence views. Quong thinks permitting personal reasons allows citizens to be insincere with one another. Convergence citizens can offer others reasons they do not believe are good reasons. (Quong 2011). This objection does not address the distinction between shared reasons and standards. We are not insincere if we offer others reasons that follow our modes of inquiry but end up in a different place. If we share a scientific method, yet end up with different theories, we may have varied reasons. But sharing diverse reasons is not insincere when our shared background is common knowledge.
