Methodological Pluralism, Armchair Introspection, and DES as the Epistemic Tribunal

Seek[ing] to minimize many of the sources of error and distortion in first-person judgments ...doesn’t justify according to beeper reports a place of such high epistemic privilege that these should serve as a sort of tribunal, before which present tense judgments, and those made in response to more targeted questions, can be tried. ... Insufficient reasons have been offered to think other reports are overall inferior to [beeper reports]. Nor is it even clear the court Hurlburt convenes would yield the harsh verdicts he suggests, were it furnished with appropriate rules of evidence. (Siewert, ref *** )
