inconsistency
含义: The quality of not being consistent; a contradiction or lack of agreement between facts, statements, or actions.
Inconsistency can refer to contradictions within a single argument or document, unreliable behaviour over time, or variations in quality or performance. It is commonly used in logic, law, sport, and everyday discourse. Unlike 'discrepancy,' which highlights a specific mismatch, inconsistency can suggest a broader pattern of unreliability. Common collocations include 'glaring inconsistency,' 'internal inconsistency,' and 'inconsistency in performance.'
