How confident was that “perhaps”? Manfred seemed to agree with me that something fishy is going on. Pragmatist then steelmanned the JTB position by approaching it probabilistically.
I’m not interested in steelmanning these philosophers, I’m interested in what they actually think. Isn’t that the point of this series?
The ‘perhaps’ was more about whether you’d find it nonsensical or not. Some people do, some don’t. (For once, we actually have some related data about this, because knowledge has been a favorite subject of experimental philosophers. I’d have to look up some more studies/an analysis to be sure, but IIRC subjects were much more likely to accept the Gettier counterexamples as legitimate knowledge than philosophers).
I think that someone was me :)
