But my point is that it doesn’t make sense to say that someone can’t be considered to have KNOWN statement P if despite his belief in, and the truth of, statement P, the conclusion was reached based on a premise which was false, yet say that one can be considered to have KNOWN statement P when there is a possibility of statement P itself not being true. Which seems to be what Gettier is saying by granting the conditions of knowledge in cases without the additional step of deductive reasoning.
