Question about Conformity
1 – Do people think that Conformity is a synonym for Validity, or is there some subtle difference between these?
Response
In my personal opinion, it is very close to validity.
However, if we think about it in a broader context, out of a large set of valid rules, only a few may apply within a domain.
Not sure if my perspective helps or makes it more muddled.
