I have a pretty strong intuition that “intellectual honesty” points to a specific thing, with a characteristic set of behaviors (both outward (in a conversation/writing) and inward (patterns of thinking)). My concept of intellectual honesty also seems to largely coincide with the concept as used by others, but I’m not sure.
I am talking about a high standard. This isn’t at all about violating a code of academic ethics.
I am talking about the sort of thing which helps to foster epistemic trust, helping to take conversations to higher levels. (But don’t read those links if you already know enough what I mean to answer and want to avoid anchoring your view to mine.)
