This notion was presented early on to counter act the Gettier problem.
It simply stated that the belief X (as in the example above) must not
be caused or based on a false belief. This was found to be too broad
and yet too restrictive.
Cases could be posed where things that should
be known (due to Justified true belief) are not; things that ought
not be known (due to justified true belief) are. Consider the above
example with Mrs. Knoll's clone secretary.
