    Supports→Moore* is not transmissive of justification from E8 to Q8*

    A proposition that must already be in place for E8 to count as evidence cannot coherently be justified by that same evidence without vicious circularity.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Evidence E8 functions as evidence only within a framework of background assumptions that constrain what counts as relevant or probative.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If P is a background assumption enabling E8's evidential status, then appealing to E8 to justify P assumes P's truth from the outset.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Circular reasoning occurs when the conclusion is among the premises needed to establish those premises, creating epistemic dependency loops.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Some background propositions can be justified through coherence across multiple evidence types, not merely by any single evidence source alone.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Distinguishing between 'presupposition' and 'conclusion' depends on logical structure, not just temporal or explanatory order of discovery.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.A proposition P can be both a precondition for E8's interpretation AND independently justified through separate arguments or empirical tests.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
