    Challenges→Understanding probability in terms of frequency makes it impossible to have direct acquaintance with probabilistic connections between propositions.

    Frequency-based probability concerns complex contingent facts about the ratio of truth of one proposition relative to another logically independent one.

    Most classical foundationalists at least implicitly rejected the idea that the mere obtaining of a probability relation between one’s noninferential evidence that P and the proposition Q one infers from that evidence is sufficient to acquire inferential justification or inferential knowledge. Rather, they insisted, one must be aware of or have access to the probabilistic connection that obtains between one’s premises and one’s conclusion. Direct acquaintance with facts was proposed to end a pote
