    It is not the case that Whether justification transmits depends on the epistemic position of the reasoner, which varies across contexts, making 'any epistemic circumstance' too strong.

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.If justification is context-dependent, we lose normative standards for evaluating reasoning across different epistemic communities.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The claim conflates pedagogical accessibility with justification itself; an argument's justificatory force shouldn't depend on who evaluates it.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Admitting 'any circumstance' is too strong doesn't require embracing full context-sensitivity; moderate universalism avoids both extremes.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Reasoners with different background knowledge assess evidence differently, so justification can't transmit identically across all epistemic positions.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Expert and novice reasoners face distinct cognitive constraints that affect whether an inference can be properly justified for them.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Empirical studies show people with different expertise reach opposite justified conclusions from identical evidence, supporting context-sensitivity.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
