For example, if I say “you didn’t do the laundry yet?” I might(depending on context) be implying “you should really do it now”. This is implicature, because I didn’t say it explicitly; it is inferred from context.
It also might be responded to with “I did.” It serves as both suggestion and question.
But this is a bit absurd. Does the ideal rationalist just spout facts at random, to avoid drawing a bottom line?
Test. (Test your steps, test your reasoning, test your conclusion/s, etc.)
By the end, I thought the title should have been:
Stop Equivocating or
Speak Plainly
And switch between Implicit and Explicit as necessary
