 Surprisingly, a number of early findings from the experimental epistemology literature suggested that people’s ordinary knowledge attributions actually don’t depend on stakes. For example, people seem to say that Keith knows the bank will be open on Saturday not only in the low-stakes case but also in the high-stakes case (Buckwalter 2010; Feltz &amp; Zarpentine 2010; May et al. 2010). This experimental finding threatens to undermine the entire debate within the non-experimental epistemology literature. After all, if there is no effect of stakes, then there is no question as to how to understand this effect.
