    It is not the case that (18) is not equivalent to (21)

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.(18) would be true if Daniel had memorized his list of true propositions without realizing that they were true
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.(21) would not be true if Daniel had memorized his list of true propositions without realizing that they were true
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    2 perspectives
    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Knowledge-that requires not merely storing true information but grasping the truth-making relation between proposition and fact, as Ryle's distinction between knowing-that and knowing-how implies.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Daniel's rote memorization lacks the inferential integration Sellars identifies as constitutive of genuine epistemic states, confirming (18) can hold without the cognitive grip (21) requires.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Belief ascriptions in (18) are transparent to the believer's perspective, while knowledge ascriptions in (21) impose an external success condition independent of the believer's epistemic position.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.This asymmetry, recognized in Williamson's knowledge-first epistemology, entails (18) and (21) have distinct truth conditions across possible cases, making them non-equivalent by definition.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
