Been tangling for months with nuances in how we talk about not-knowing. One thing that's now clear is that we use the words "risk" and "uncertainty" to mean a wide range of things depending on context. Two types of inaccuracy seem common: 1) OVERLOADING and 2) APPROPRIATION.

We often OVERLOAD "risk" with multiple meanings — I've written about this here (though the term "overload" here is a new development): https://vaughntan.org/how-to-think-more-clearly-about-risk
