当我们对调查行动的结果进行合理或不合理、好或坏、合理或不合理的评价时，我们从广义上对它们作出评价性判断。我们期待在操作的准确性作为一个可取的和可评估的质量的结果，并探讨如何准确性和精确度的概念，从语用学和测量理论的基础上借鉴的见解，可以看到做有用的工作在认识论。操作准确性（但不是形而上的准确性！）重点关注一个陈述如何符合参与共享项目的参与者所设定的明确或隐含的标准。虽然真理仍然是命题的一个薄薄的语义属性，但操作准确性作为探究结果的一种质量，通常附在一个陈述、一个模型、一个图表或一个表示上，是一种基于探究目标（每个探究都有）所设定的非认知目标的评估，以及一个实质性的评估概念。这些目标通常在调查的背景下通过相关问题变得明确，充当过滤器，可靠的认识方法可以获得的真理作为输入，准确的表征作为输出。负责任的探究寻求的是在可靠的知识和探究目标所要求的准确度之间的语用平衡。
When we evaluate the outcomes of investigative actions as justified or unjustified, good or bad, rational or irrational, we make, in a broad sense of the term, evaluative judgements about them. We look at operational accuracy as a desirable and evaluable quality of the outcomes and explore how the concepts of accuracy and precision, on the basis of insights borrowed from pragmatics and measurement theory, can be seen to do useful work in epistemology. Operational accuracy (but not metaphysical accuracy!) focuses on how a statement fits an explicit or implicit standard set by participants involved in a shared project. While truth can remain a thin semantic property of propositions, operational accuracy, as a quality of an outcome of inquiry and typically attached to a statement, a model, a diagram or a representation is an evaluation based on the the non-epistemic goals set by the goal of inquiry (which every inquiry has), and a substantial evaluative notion. The goals, often made explicit by relevant questions in a context of inquiry, act as a filter, with truths a reliable epistemic method has access to functioning as the input, and accurate representations as its output. Responsible inquiry seeks pragmatic equilibrium between what reliable knowledge on the one hand and degrees of accuracy required by the goal of inquiry.
