Confusing question. I guess this is talking about the claim pages. It could also be talking about how people respond to claims on the 'agreement scale', though, and in that case, people definitely should represent their actual views.

In claim pages, my instinct is people should aim for clarity. I guess people would be tempted to shy away from their full claims, in order to get more agreement, which would be bad.

This raises a new issue of how e.g. Steph is supposed to feel when the claim's wording has changed, and her marker is stuck on 'strongly disagree' (she probably agrees, given the new wording)

Right on both counts. I've changed the wording.

I think the saying is "clear beliefs weakly held", not "strong beliefs weakly held".
