    Supports→A successful argument for selective skepticism regarding intuitions must not equally apply to many other sources of putatively justified belief.

    If an argument for skepticism about intuitions would also justify skepticism regarding perceptual, memorial, or introspective belief, it shows nothing distinctively problematic about intuitions or beliefs based upon them.

    Third, a successful argument for selective skepticism regarding intuitions must be one which does not equally apply to many other sources of putatively justified belief. After all, if the argument at issue would also justify skepticism regarding perceptual belief and/or memorial and/or introspective belief, it shows nothing distinctively problematic about intuitions or beliefs based upon them. Call this constraint on a successful argument, “the local skepticism constraint.”
