Summary
In this chapter challenge cases to Knowledge Counter-Closure discussed so far are distinguished from cases of transmission failure and easy knowledge. I explain how these challenge cases work and argue that Knowledge Counter-Closure can be replaced by a plausible principle phrased in terms of justification, rather than knowledge. I then discuss Murphy's claim that inferential knowledge can arise from unjustified belief and from non-belief. I close the chapter by showing that rejecting Knowledge Counter-Closure avoids substantial costs.
