Whether the belief happens to be true is irrelevant. What matters is whether the person can justify the belief. If the conviction is spontaneously generated, the person doesn't have a rational argument that shows how the claim arises from previously-accepted statements. Thus, asserting that claim is wrong, regardless of whether it happens to be true or not.
It's not about truth! It's about justification!
No. It's about truth. Cognitive engines don't run because you justified them into existence. They run when they systematically produce truth, whether the philosophers agree it ought to or not.
To produce truth systematically--by a method known to generate truth reliably--is to produce justified truth.
for sane vales of "justified".
What insane values did you have in mind? "Justified" is pretty much a success-word in philosophy.
