<upd_detl>I've sat on this for a while (as has everyone else...) Frankly, I think it's best as the two senses Robin set up in 2018. The refs are divided but two senses seem most common.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>Daijr added this sense in the 3rd edition. My initial thought was that it's too similar to sense 1 but the shinmeikai and prog examples above do look like a distinct sense.</upd_detl>
<upd_refs>daijr:（後に打ち消しの語を伴って）強い確信や意思をもって否定する気持ちを表す。「―許さない」
shinmeikai: その判断が間違い無く成立すると主張することを表わす。「毎年負けてばかりいたが、今年は―〔＝全く〕ちがっていた／―〔＝決して〕そんな事は無い」
prog: 断然まちがっています  That is definitely wrong.</upd_refs>
