That one is clear to me too, also no. How would she know? No where did you specify that she even thought going to church would solve her problems. She was told to visit church, yes, but there has to be a belief component to "knowing". Did she genuinely believe going to church would solve her medical problems? Hope and desperation don't count either, it has to be a genuine belief. Also, she was told be pray to Jesus. Depending on if you're religious or not you might say that Jesus did cure her, but a pretty strong argument could be made that the church-goers were the key, so even if she did believe Jesus would cure her, if it ends up being something else, then it also doesn't count.
- passion__desire 3y agoThere is clear chain of links : Belief (Jesus solves problems) -> Action (Going to church) -> Finding solution (Other church goers helped her). How is this different than original gettier problem? In original gettier problem, his problem was solved in unexpected ways. As I see it, there are four quadrants : 2 (action, no action) x 2 (solution, no solution). You can build any story based on outcomes.
