It would mean that all differing definitions, metrics and expectations of any given scenario are valid, until the situation plays out. And even then, there are no faulty ideas involved, just unexpected results.

Unfortunately, this reasoning doesn’t allow for a flat-out repudiation of any inherently toxic or destructive beliefs: racism, xenophobia, religious fanaticism, right-wing dictatorships, etc., because they’re simply a particular set of definitions, metrics and expectations.
