This doesn't invalidate accidental knowledge. Which has value.

I think most philosophers today agree with Peter Unger that "accidental knowledge" is an oxymoron.

If I accidentally drop a hammer on my foot, I gain the knowledge that dropping a hammer on my foot hurts.

Not if it’s the same correct conclusion.

What does peter unger think about the right-making properties of being wrong?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Then I misunderstood what you mean. I thought "accidental knowledge" means "belief with a justification that happens to be right, even though the justification is not good".

I don't understand what you are asking. Nor am I too familiar with Peter Unger's philosophy. I know about his thought experiment about accidental knowledge only because it was in our philosophy textbook.

You don't understand things, in general... and your knowledge of peter unger is wholly accidental?  All of this, all of it, because you needed to deflect from the embarrassment of having asked whether other people would be more wrong than you, if they didn't even attempt to do whatever wrong thing you may have done.

My communicology professor, Jerko Glavaš, just told me that arguments presented in my paper seem compelling to him, although he would not consider himself to be an expert in the field. He also told me "Samo tako nastavite" ("Just continue doing that."), and that it's important to publish papers in peer-reviewed journals, that it counts for much more than good grades do.
