 For instance, Horowitz describes a case of epistemic akrasia involving a detective, Sam, who stays up all night trying to identify a thief. He knows the evidence he is working with is good, and concludes on the basis of this evidence that the thief was Lucy. He calls his partner and tells her that he’s cracked the case, only to have her remind him that his reasoning while sleepy is often poor. Sam hadn’t thought about his previous track record, but he believes his partner that he’s often wrong about what his evidence supports when he’s tired. (Horowitz 2014, p. 719).
