| Jul 23, 2022 at 0:17 | comment | added | armand | This is confusing soundness and truthiness. "This dog is real if the world is real" is sound, but true only if the world is indeed real. As long as the premise is not established with an adequate level of confidence, it has no knowledge about the world to offer. | |

| May 24, 2021 at 15:26 | comment | added | NotThatGuy | "are also knowledge since they are true even if" - I think "knowledge" is about more than just statements that are necessarily true. The statement also probably needs to actually tell you something about the world, which a conditional statement arguably doesn't do. The example given might also be problematic because you might be imagining the dog even if the world is real. Even if you assume the world is real, there is still very little you can say for sure if you're skeptical of your perception of it. | |

| May 22, 2021 at 23:46 | comment | added | Conifold | No, and it makes little sense. To a radical skeptic every statement is in doubt, specific statements cannot be counterexamples to an attitude. Especially one that applies to all statements, them included. | |
