No better than what? I really don't see how your objection is in any way relevent...
This isn't an argument for Reliablismm, if someone wants to get into the nitty gritty then we'll get onto that later - For now I'm just interested in the guaging epistemology of the members here, to see where the spread is.
So Lrh9, do you have a preferred Epistemology? In other words:
What is knowledge?
How do we gain knowledge?
How do we know what we know?
These are the questions addressed by epistemology. Almost all have the first in common, the TJB (true justified belief) where someone Knows something if it is true and if they believe it to be true - There are minor variations between epistemologies, such as reliabilism positing that one must use a method that tends towards the truth to Know something - the whole idea of this is to exclude guessing and similar approaches where one could believe something that is in fact true, but their method for arriving at this belief was simply chance.
There are many other epistemologies out there, all with merits and flaws.
