My aim in this is to defend an account of suspension of judgement that captures the intuition that suspending judgement is something hard to achieve. According to the resistive account of suspension of judgement, to suspend judgment is to resist the inclination to consider as true a proposition that one would have considered as true if one had not resisted. An implication of this view is that suspending judgment as to whether a certain proposition p is true is just one among several ways of inquiring about p.
