It is possible to establish certain states in relation to the skiing truth.
Ignorance, as opposed to knowledge, results when we ignore how to ski, i.e., we have no relation to the truth of the ski technique. Ignorance manifests itself in different ways: that of the skier who neither seeks nor is interested in knowing how to ski; that of the skier who knows a lot about skiing, but ignores other aspects, and the docta ignorantia: the wise skier who, despite possessing a considerable amount of skiing knowledge, is also cognizant of the extent to which he ignores, akin to Socrates when he says “I only know that I know nothing”.
Doubt refers to the absence of agreement or the interruption of a judgment, resulting in a state of uncertainty. There exist doubts that are attributed to disinterest, mental laziness, and the wise skier who suspends his judgment due to a lack of all the necessary elements to define himself.
Opinion is a weak confirmation, an intermediate state between doubt and certainty.
Falsehood is the opposite of truth. An error is produced when a judgment is false, for example, by someone who values it as true. The exteriority of an error occurs when the skier who notices it is not the one who is mistaken, but another skier.
Certainty is total and categorical approval, which leaves no room for doubt.
