 In apparent agreement with Lewis, Laurence BonJour (1985, 148) writes: “[a]s long as we are confident that the reports of the various witnesses are genuinely independent of each other, a high enough degree of coherence among them will eventually dictate the hypothesis of truth telling as the only available explanation of their agreement.” However, BonJour proceeds to reject Lewis’s point about the need for positive antecedent credibility: “[w]hat Lewis does not see, however, is that his own [witness] example shows quite convincingly that no antecedent degree of warrant or credibility is required” (148). BonJour is here apparently denouncing Lewis’s claim that coherence will not have any confidence boosting power unless the sources are initially somewhat credible. BonJour is proposing that coherence can play this role even if there is no antecedent degree of warrant, so long as the witnesses are delivering their reports independently.
