This was fascinating.
Since the source material was so short, I went ahead and waded through it. A bit hard to follow at times, but I think I got the gist. It's still kind of sinking in, so I haven't spent much time considering the possible solutions (the "premises must be true" one is tempting at first glance). But it does appear that justified true belief is an insufficient definition of knowledge.
Have you done any thinking about it? I'm curious what your take is.
