richard feldman, epistemological puzzles about disagreement

(crux) we're not often honest with ourselves. if we actually agree that a capable person is disagreeing with us, and they're reasonably doing so, and they have exposure to the same facts as us, then we ought to suspend belief

(421) much rides on the definition of what makes somebody reasonable, when they disagree

(421) effects of intuition might make possession of 'same evidence' a real-world impossibility (but then we're not operating in situations of 'full discolsure'; and tolerance can't be said to be in good faith, here)
