 He acknowledges that whether one reasons well or badly, one might be equally confident in one’s conclusion in both cases. However, he contends, “We should not thereby be drawn to the conclusion that the deliverances of good reasoning and bad reasoning have the same epistemic status” (2010: 141). Rather, the person that reasons better (from the same evidence) may well be more entitled to his/her conclusion than the person who reasons worse. It may be rational for her to hold fast to her initial belief. This approach is what Kelly calls the “Total Evidence View”.
