Selective Testimony Completeness Judgment State

Class 09b01c97
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#SelectiveTestimonyCompletenessJudgmentState
Definition

State in which a professional engineer presenting technical findings at a public regulatory hearing exercises professional judgment about which information is 'relevant and pertinent' to volunteer beyond what is directly asked — where the engineer is aware of additional factors (such as traffic, noise, or air pollution impacts) that could affect the regulatory body's decision, but determines in good faith that those factors are not sufficiently relevant to require unsolicited disclosure, and where other witnesses subsequently address those factors — creating a condition in which the ethical permissibility of selective disclosure turns on the reasonableness of the engineer's professional judgment about relevance rather than on a categorical duty to volunteer all known information.
