 An interesting question is whether it is true that as q receives via transmission from p an additional quantitatively strengthening justification, q also receives an independent justification. This seems true in some cases—for instance in Lottery above. It is controversial, however, whether it is the case that whenever q receives via transmission a quantitatively strengthening justification, q also receives an independent justification. Wright 2011, and Moretti &amp; Piazza 2013 describe two examples in which a subject allegedly receives via transmission a quantitatively strengthening but not independent additional justification.
