Knowledge requires not just true belief but a proper epistemic relationship between the believer's cognitive process and the truth-maker, as Alvin Goldman's reliabilism establishes.

Alvin Goldman(epistemology): An American philosopher known for developing 'reliabilism,' a theory arguing that knowledge comes from belief-forming processes that reliably produce true beliefs.
Cognitive process(as used in epistemology): A mental activity your brain uses to gain information or form beliefs, like reasoning, memory, or perception.
Epistemic: "Epistemic" relates to knowledge—how we know things, what counts as knowledge, and whether we can trust what we believe to be true. It comes from the Greek word for knowledge and is used to describe questions about the reliability and validity of our beliefs and understanding. For example, "epistemic humility" means acknowledging the limits of what you can actually know for certain.
True belief(Contrasted with knowledge in the Jones/Smith example): A belief that is true but lacks the justification required for knowledge
