      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If a judgment of fit is required to justify the first-order belief, the same standard should apply to the judgment of fit itself.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Applying the same standard to the judgment of fit requires a further judgment of fit, and so on without end.
