I'm mixed about this article. I think that some basic conceptual analysis for various concepts is important and helps clarify the discussion. Like "justified true knowledge" sounds very tempting - but conceptual analysis shows that it is much more complicated. On the other hand, it's pretty clear that some concepts are slippery and attempting to define them is an exercise in futility
