Abstract
In a recent critique of Kuorikoski, Lehtinen and Marchionni’s (2010) analysis of derivational robustness, Margherita Harris (2021) argued that the proposed independence condition is not credible. While this criticism is cogent, it does not challenge the incremental epistemic benefits from robustness, as they do not hinge on satisfying independence conditions. Distinguishing between incremental increases and a high absolute degree of confidence in a result is crucial: the latter requires demonstrating the independence of every false assumption.
