 All these things can be consistently questioned. But the question is: at what cost? We have already seen that there are strong systematic reasons for explicating independence in terms of conditional independence in the standard way. Furthermore, the Content Determination Thesis is deeply entrenched in just about all work on coherence that takes agreeing witnesses to be the prototypical case. Giving up Content Determination would mean purging the coherence theory of one of its clearest and most distinctive pre-systematic intuitions: that coherence is a property at the level of report contents. The worry is that coherentism is saved at the cost of robbing it of almost all its significance, as Ewing put it almost a century ago in response to a similar worry (Ewing 1934, 246).
