Logical inconsistency Two (or more) claims under consideration, for example in an argument, are inconsistent if they cannot both (all) be true, although both (all) could be false.
Inconsistent beliefs When an actor holds inconsistent beliefs the beliefs cannot all be true, therefore we will be unable to rely upon policies which follow from those beliefs.
