Thank you, Mark, for publishing this piece by Elise. Given that one of her interests is the relationship between epistemic and moral accountability, I suspect she will have alot more to say about Joe Biden given the changes in Roe v Wade: he made this alleged epistemic change in June 2019 as a Presidential candidate in a speech in New York. Had he made the speech in Alabama, I bet he'd have stuck to his traditional Roman Catholic social teaching. And given what has happened to Roe v Wade since and his current stance that it's not a Federal issue but a state one, the point she made about lack of trustworthiness is spot on. The epistemic circumstances before him had changed - he wanted to win both NY's electoral college votes!
