 This doesn’t tell us how to assimilate news about one’s decline in reliability to the first-order belief, but only how to treat other evidence about the first-order matter once one has done so. The question was supposed to be how the evidence about memory should affect our beliefs, and to answer that requires saying how and why that evidence about his memory should make our subject have a .90 rather than .99 initial confidence that the student was Sarah. Surely one must attribute reduced reliability to oneself if one is to have any reason to revise one’s first-order belief that the student was Sarah on the basis of evidence of diminished reliability. Even a raw feel of redness of a flower must become an ascription of red to the flower in order for one’s experience of it to affect other beliefs such as that it would or wouldn’t be an appropriate gift. Even evidence suggesting a small amount of unreliability, as with INP above, presents us with a trilemma: either we incoherently attribute unreliability to ourselves but revise and have a justification for doing so, or we coherently fail to attribute unreliability and revise without justification for doing so, or we remain coherent by failing to attribute unreliability and don’t revise, ignoring evidence of our unreliability. It seems that it is not possible for a rational subject to acknowledge evidence of her own unreliability and update her first-order belief on the basis of it.
