>incorrigibility

What an odd thing to include in a list like that.

Incorrigibly is not the same word as encourage.

Otherwise, what’s the confusion here?

  • >In philosophy, incorrigibility is a property of a philosophical proposition, which implies that it is necessarily true simply by virtue of being believed. A common example of such a proposition is René Descartes' "cogito ergo sum" ("I think, therefore I am").

    >In law, incorrigibility concerns patterns of repeated or habitual disobedience of minors with respect to their guardians.

    That's what wiki gives as a definition. It seems out of place compared to the others.
