  "description": "Validity check of the two arguments on the veil of ignorance page: Rawls's side (no basis for odds and a grave, unrepeatable choice; maximin; protect the worst-off position) and Harsanyi's side (equal odds; expected utility; the highest average), each over every truth assignment, with the check that the veil premise alone entails neither conclusion, and the demonstration table's picks under the four principles. Validity says nothing about whether the premises are true. Computed 2026-10-31. License CC BY 4.0.",
