It reminds me of the Robustness Principle [1] which states: "be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others"

I think this advice about the use of "just" applies. You should be liberal in accepting "just" statements from others but conservative in sending "just" statements to others.

Credit where credit is due. That's Internet pioneer (Jon) Postel's Law:

> Perhaps his most famous legacy is from RFC760, which includes a robustness principle often called Postel's law: "an implementation should be conservative in its sending behavior, and liberal in its receiving behavior" (reworded in RFC 1122 as "Be liberal in what you accept, and conservative in what you send").
