The reaction to the alleged tensions that would be the most zealously fallibilist in the GC‐sense would be the way of flat denial (if I knew the Latin, I could get a zippy label for this way by filling in the blank of ‘modus ____ tollens’*): One who simply denied that there is any serious tension between the admission and the claim to know, nor even any appearance of validity to the skeptical inference, to be accounted for would certainly be a GC‐fallibilist of the first order. *Trent Dougherty now informs me that he majored in Latin and assures me that the term Im looking for here is modus frickin tollens. Thanks, Trent!
