You make a good point, but I think the framing of “justified true belief” may still be useful for the reason you illustrated. It gives a developer a nice way to sanity check their instinct. Instead of “I’m sure my code broke this,” asking “is this belief justified” may help them pause and consider “well I did rebase so I can’t really be sure, I need to eliminate what’s in the diff first.”

It would be to then ask, did I see the cow move, eat, or do anything else that you would expect a cow to do - rather than just seeing the silhouette? I generally think the point is that you oftentimes have beliefs about why something broke and that it is important to check your beliefs.
