*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.
