Although there are different accounts of Arbitrary Reference\, nearly all of them can be challenged on the basis that they entail the existence of free-floating semantic facts\, namely: semantic facts which are not grounded in any non-semantic fact. In this talk I propose a solution. First I argue that the friends of Arbitrary Reference can answer the challenge by appealing to the notion of indeterministic grounding. Then I propose a new account of Arbitrary Reference as a probabilistic phenomenon\, and argue that this new account should be preferred over the classical versions of Arbitrary Reference for its ability to build a bridge between cases of canonical and arbitrary reference and the new insights it offers on the phenomenon of semantic vagueness.

Oops\, I cannot consistently believe that! Modesty about my spelling entails I underestimate my spelling. If I indeed underestimate my spelling accuracy\, then my ignorance about spelling accuracy is contagious. For if I believe you and I are equals at spelling\, then my modesty commits me to underestimating your spelling. Morally\, you may rightly resent my underestimate! You may also suffer intellectually. In addition to my ignorance of my merit spreading to my ignorance of your merit\, my ignorance can make you ignorant. For if you and I are epistemic peers\, then the limits of my knowledge become the limits of your knowledge. After all\, how do you know that I am modest rather than accurate? In general\, any modesty I possess robs my peers. Modesty is a vice rather than a virtue!
