Consider how absurd it would be for a professor of physics to admit that his opinion regarding a problem in physics would be different if he had attended a different graduate school.
It’s a weird thing for anyone to admit; the epistemologist is just in a particularly awkward position. I spoke of philosophy because that’s what I have experience with; but I wouldn’t be at all surprised to find that similar trends of students following teachers hold in other disciplines.
