 One line of objection to Korcz’s causal-doxastic theory is that simply combining causal and doxastic theories is ad hoc, i.e., lacks appropriate theoretical support. In turn, this would appear to prevent the theory from helping us to understand the basing relation. The basing relation is presumably a unified epistemic concept calling for a unified analysis, not a haphazard conglomeration of different conditions, as a disjunctive analysis of the basing relation as either causes or meta-beliefs would suggest. While the analysis may be unified in the sense that it is a causal analysis through and through, one would not expect the kinds of causes to be so different. This objection gains further support if it is mistakenly thought that the primary motive for the theory is merely to avoid superstitious-lawyer style counter-examples.
