 But even if we reject an account of defeat along these lines, the reliabilist may have other options for dealing with the problem. For example, some might suggest that we can handle this problem by appropriately typing the agent’s belief. Perhaps after Alice receives her friend’s testimony, her belief is no longer the result of vision alone, but rather of vision while disregarding testimony that vision is unreliable. (See Constantin 2020; Nagel 2021 for versions of this response.) An important question for this response is whether it is consistent with our most promising theories of process-typing; in this regard, the problem of defeat is connected to the generality problem. Another strategy for handling defeat is to modify reliabilism by incorporating some evidentialist elements into the theory. For now, we will defer a more detailed discussion of this maneuver to  §4.2  below.
