*I just fixed the loophole of the Gettier cases*
 knowledge is a justified true belief such that the
justification is sufficient reason to accept the
truth of the belief.
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gettier_problem

 The remaining loophole is the lack of an exact definition
of "sufficient reason".
 

 Ultimately sufficient reason is correct semantic
entailment from verified facts.

 The problem is "verified" facts: what is sufficient verification?
 

 Stipulated to be true is always sufficient:
Cats are a know if animal.

Insufficient for practtical purposes. You may stipulate that
nitroglycerine is not poison but it can kill you anyway.

Empirically verified to be true in the current moment:
I have a left hand right now, is sufficient.

I can't verify that.
