How important do you think non-sharp credence functions are to arguments for cluelessness being important? If you generally reject Knightian uncertainty and quantify all possibilities with probabilities, how diminished is the case for problematic cluelessness?
My belief that cluelessness is important is fairly independent of any specific philosophical/technical account of cluelessness. In particular, I don’t think me changing my mind on whether credence functions have to be sharp would significantly change my views on the importance of cluelessness.
In this comment I’ve explained in more detail what I think about the relationship between the basic idea and specific philosophical theories trying to describe it.
(FWIW, I don’t feel like I have a well-informed view on whether credence functions have to be sharp. If anything, I have a weak intuition that it’s a bit more likely than not that I’d conclude they have to be if I spent more time looking into the question.)

(Or am I just misunderstanding the words here?)
