Epistemic Closure Redux

Amity Shlaes as well as Josh Blackman responded to my post on Justice Gorsuch's references to her majority inwards Gundy v. United States. I possess got written a too-long-for-a-blog-post response, available here. The abstract is this:

In Gundy Justice Gorsuch offered 2 characterizations of the facts inwards the Schechter case: (1) “Kosher butchers such equally the Schechters had a difficult fourth dimension next [the rules that required ‘straight-killing’ of chickens].” (2) “Yet the regime evidently singled out the Schechters equally a examination case; inspectors repeatedly visited them and, at times, evidently behaved abusively toward their customers.” Justice Gorsuch relied upon Amity Shlaes’s book The Forgotten Man to back upward these assertions.

In a weblog postal service I criticized Shlaes’s account, as well as used Justice Gorsuch’s reliance upon it to illustrate what I called epistemic closure inwards the structure of the police delineate – yesteryear which I meant the reliance upon a unopen develop of sources written yesteryear authors who by as well as large shared a specific outlook on the agency the Blue Planet works.

Josh Blackman as well as Shlaes responded to my criticism. But, equally I demo here, their responses are largely false as well as (or mayhap because) undertheorized because of their failure (or mayhap inability – an inability that may live on intrinsic to the process) to recognize the being of epistemic closure.
