[MD] JTB

[Ian Glendinning]

Steve, Matt (and DMB)
My point - the value I attempted to add to the conversation - Steve
and Matt, is a suggested focus on which of these views is "worth"
anything, not about their either/or logic, which is a (linguistic)
red-herring.

In your direct question below.

A yes in logical theory, BUT moot, worthless, no quality, no value
experienced - not knowledge
B no, BUT this is just a question of the quality / goodness of the
justification in the first place. The "FUND" sum total of
justifications (value) experienced. (See DMB's latest Jamesian post.)
Knowledge value is that holistic goodness, quality experienced.

It's not a matter of (accidental / uncomprehending) conflation of the
"A / yes / but and B / no / but" distinction, but a choice about any
value in the distinction. As DMB says it's not either / or it's
neither / nor.
