Abstract
- In this paper, I argue for a way to evaluate beliefs grounded in the testimony of sham epistemic authorities and then apply that principle to beliefs tokened as a consequence of implicit biases. As a result, such implicitly biased beliefs are correctly evaluated as praiseworthy by their possessors, even though the belief is epistemically defective.
