In the classical epistemological tradition derived from Plato's Theaetetus, propositional knowledge was widely analyzed as Justified True Belief (JTB). In 1963, Edmund Gettier published a seminal counterexample challenging this definition. Which core conclusion did Gettier establish regarding the relationship between justification and knowledge?

An agent can possess a justified true belief through epistemic luck or false lemmas without that belief constituting genuine knowledge. True belief alone is both necessary and sufficient for knowledge, rendering any additional epistemic justification entirely redundant across scientific and everyday contexts. Justification is entirely unnecessary for knowledge provided the belief is produced by an uncorrupted innate cognitive faculty operating in an ideal epistemic environment. Knowledge requires subjective psychological certainty that is completely immune to any empirical doubt, Cartesian skepticism, or external theoretical revision.

Correct Answer:

An agent can possess a justified true belief through epistemic luck or false lemmas without that belief constituting genuine knowledge.
