 Suppose s’s background information entails that Jessica and Jocelyn are indistinguishable twins. Imagine that s acquires E2. It is intuitive that E2 could justify P2 for s in Twins only if s had independent justification for believing Q2 in the first instance. Thus Twins instantiates the information-dependence template. Note that s acquires first-time justification for Q2 in Twins only if (i) E2 gives her justification for P2, (ii) s knows that P2 entails Q2 and (iii-ft) s acquires first-time justification for believing Q2 in virtue of (i) and (ii). The satisfaction of (iii-ft) requires s’s justification for believing Q2 not to be independent of s’s justification from E2 for P2. However, if (i) is true, the informational-dependence template requires s to have justification for believing Q2 independently of s’s justification from E2 for P2. Thus, when the information-dependence template is instantiated, (i) and (iii-ft) cannot be satisfied at once. In general, no argument satisfying this template together with a given evidence will be transmissive of first-time justification based on that evidence.
