    The problem here, I think, is that if ‘justified true beliefs’ aren’t ‘knowledge’ then nothing is. Which is a perfectly valid stance, but not a particularly useful one.

    Also, one might argue that the belief in question wasn’t properly justified.

      Yeah you’d be justified in questioning any background just from how easy and common it is to use facke ones. However, if after after some time (and the person moving around a bit), you see no signs of it being a fake background (like cut of hair or such), you would then be justified in assuming it is real.
