Usage Note

Inconsistente describes reasoning, behavior, or data that lacks coherence or contradicts itself — a near-cognate with English 'inconsistent' used in the same way. In academic or scientific writing it also means lacking structural solidity. Be aware that in everyday speech incoherente is more common for personal behavior that doesn't add up.

Examples
