چکیده
According to ‘Excluders’, descriptive uncertainty – but not normative matters what we ought do. Recently, several authors have argued that those wishing treat differently from face a dependence problem because one's can depend on uncertainty. The aim of this paper is determine whether the phenomenon poses decisive for Excluders. I argue existing arguments fail show this, and that, while stronger ones be found, Excluders escape them.

End-to-end active network monitoring infers network characteristics by sending and collecting probe packets from the network edge, while probes traverse the network through multicast trees or a mesh of unicast paths.
