 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.
When the truth of a belief is a necessary consequence of its
justification then this justification is necessarily sufficient.

Is verified by the article talking about planets in our solar system.
Believing the the boiling point of water is about 212 degrees F
on the basis of looking it up in a textbook also seems to be
a sufficient reason.
