I use rationalist jargon when I judge that the benefits (of pointing to a particular thing) outweigh the costs (of putting off potential readers). And my opinion is that “epistemic status” doesn’t make the cut.
Basically, I think that if you write an “epistemic status” at the top of a blog post, and then delete the two words “epistemic status” while keeping everything else the same, it works just about as well. See for example the top of this post.
