OK. I take this -- "crucially, the known must be true in the epistemology"
-- as the essence of what (I) adds to (II).

#No, I hold (II) as well.

So you deny that "crucially, the known must be true in the epistemology"?
It is enough that the x1 claim that the known is true? So if on the basis=20
of our common epistemology you believed that Sydney was the capital
of Australia, I could say "John djuno that Sydney is the cap. of A, fo
our mutual epistemology"?
