L'un des thèmes les plus controversés à propos du personnage de Socrate est celui de la crédibilité de son ignorance. En effet, il est bien connu que d’une part, Socrate clame sans cesse que sa seule connaissance est la certitude de son ignorance, alors que d’autre part, il donne l'impression d’un joueur d’échec en mesure de prévoir de façon extrêmement précise le déroulement de la partie. Cette question de l'ignorance socratique est fort importante, car elle concerne la valeur attribuée à l'ouverture de la discussion, c'est-à-dire à l'absence de conclusions préalablement fixées. 2, record 1, French, - ignorance%20socratique

The results showed that railroads had the most market power over long, cross-country moves. However, there were exceptions. Unlike the grain freight market, for frozen freight, the length of haul was less of a determining factor behind truck and rail competition. Across all haul distances, rail demand for frozen products, on average, was more sensitive to changes in rail rates than frozen truck demand was to changes in truck rates. As a result, rail carriers are less likely to hold substantial market power in the frozen freight markets. For frozen freight, trucks compete with rail for shipments, even over long distances. This effect is likely due to frozen freight’s time sensitivity and lower volumes (than grain). These requirements of frozen freight make it more suitable than grain for long-haul trucking. 1, record 3, English, - truck%20and%20rail%20competition

Lorsque les débats abordent la question de la concurrence, il s’agit exclusivement d’une concurrence intermodale. La concurrence entre la route et le rail est considérée comme faussée en faveur de la première. En effet, la construction du réseau routier a été prise en charge directement par l'État, alors que celle du réseau ferroviaire l'a été par les grandes compagnies puis la SNCF [Société nationale des chemins de fer français], se traduisant par une importante dette dont la charge pèse sur les finances du futur établissement public à caractère industriel et commercial [...] 1, record 3, French, - concurrence%20entre%20la%20route%20et%20le%20rail

On utilise parfois le terme pour désigner un camp en préparation d’une compétition importante; cependant, dans ce cas, il faudrait lui préférer «camp pré-compétition» car les athlètes sélectionnés pour ce genre de rencontres sont habituellement en forme, donc entraînés, au moment de s’y présenter.

Credibility gap is a political term that came into wide use during the 1960s and 1970s. At the time, it was most frequently used to describe public skepticism about the Johnson administration's statements and policies on the Vietnam War. Today, it is used more generally to describe almost any "gap" between the reality of a situation and what politicians and government agencies say about it. 2, record 12, English, - credibility%20gap

L'état de l'homologation du propiconazole constitue une question réglementaire actuelle importante, plus particulièrement en regard du Programme de gestion intégrée des céréales(GIC). Le Programme GIC constitue une nouvelle approche pour la culture des céréales, basée sur l'utilisation de variétés à rendement élevé et sur un programme précis d’applications de fertilisants et de fongicides. Dans des conditions idéales, la GIC permet d’obtenir une augmentation significative du rendement et de la qualité par rapport aux méthodes classiques de la culture des céréales, et l'utilisation de fongicides comme le propiconazole est responsable d’une partie importante de l'accroissement du rendement. 1, record 15, French, - gestion%20int%C3%A9gr%C3%A9e%20des%20c%C3%A9r%C3%A9ales

Il sera question dans la suite de contaminants particulaires solides. Ces contaminants se trouvent en suspension dans l'air ambiant, dans les gaz de process, les liquides, en mélange dans des poudres ainsi qu'adhérés sur des surfaces. Dans bien des milieux il y a lieu d’en diminuer la concentration afin d’assurer des conditions propres de travail, on parlera alors d’empoussièrement contrôlé et d’ultrapropreté. Afin de parvenir à cette fin, il est nécessaire de connaître le mode de fixation des particules sur les surfaces, ce qui est en grande partie en relation avec leur nature. Dès lors, la caractérisation morphochimique, c'est-à-dire la détermination de la forme et de la composition des contaminants est une opération importante. 1, record 16, French, - contaminant%20particulaire

In early 1998, a number of Information Management Forum members expressed concerns about the appropriateness of the "Guide to the Preservation of Essential Records". The guide, which had not been revised since 1987, focussed on wartime rather than peacetime emergencies and did not cover topics such as electronic records. Within that context and in cooperation with the Treasury Board Secretariat led Business Resumption Planning Working Group, it was concluded that it would be appropriate to establish a Working Group to address this important issue ... The first meeting of the Essential Records Working Group was held on June 30, 1998. 1, record 17, English, - Essential%20Records%20Working%20Group

Au début de l'année 1998, certains membres du Forum sur la gestion de l'information se sont dits préoccupés par la désuétude du Guide sur la conservation des documents essentiels. Le guide, dont la dernière révision remontait à 1987, mettait l'accent sur les catastrophes en période de guerre plutôt qu'en période de paix et ne traitait pas des questions telles que la gestion des documents électroniques. C'est dans ce contexte et en collaboration avec le Groupe de travail du Secrétariat du Conseil du Trésor chargé de la planification de la reprise des opérations, que la décision d’établir un groupe de travail a été prise afin de régler cette importante question [...] La première réunion du Groupe de travail sur les documents essentiels s’est tenue le 30 juin 1998. 1, record 17, French, - Groupe%20de%20travail%20sur%20les%20documents%20essentiels
