Epistemology scales with interest alignment. In high-trust zones (family, startups), Mistake Theory dominates because you share a fate - bad maps hurt everyone. In mixed zones (corporate departments), you use Strategic Emphasis - spinning facts without breaking the system. In zero-sum zones (politics, war), you shift to Conflict Theory, where helping an opponent see reality is a strategic error.
