doubt as a private and public experience/performance

Submitted by Ann Dixon on Thu, 04/19/2007 - 10:05am.

I wonder if doubt *has* to be a *private* experience of questioning whatyou know.  In public, one can doubt others' data, findings, opinions andstories, and can thereby refine what is known. But if one publicly doubtsone's own conclusions, everything one says may be undermined, for example, with modern day charges of "flipflopping."
