    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→Moore's proof is non-transmissive because Q8 (the proposition that an external world exists) is part of the collateral information a subject needs independent justification for in order to receive justification for perceptual hypotheses from perceptual evidence.

    If Pryor's dogmatism is coherent, then Q8 is not collateral information but rather a consequence derivable from perceptual justification, making Moore's proof transmissive after all.
