 knowledge is a justified true belief such that the
justification is sufficient reason to accept the
truth of the belief.

 With a Justified true belief, in the Gettier cases
the observer does not know enough to know its true
yet it remains stipulated to be true.
 My original correction to this was a JTB such that the
justification necessitates the truth of the belief.
 With a [Sufficiently Justified belief], it is stipulated
that the observer does have a sufficient reason to accept
the truth of the belief.

 What could be a sufficient reason? Every justification of every
belief involves other belifs that could be false.

 For the justification to be sufficient the consequence of
the belief must be semantically entailed by its justification.

If the belief is about something real then its justification
involves claims about something real. Nothing real is certain.
If the belief is not about something real then it is not clear
whether it is correct to call it "belief".
