3591	We could never pin down how many beliefs we have [Williams,M]
	Full Idea: Asking how many beliefs I have is like asking how many drops of water there are in a bucket. If I believe my dog is in the garden, do I also believe he is not in the house, or in Siberia?
	From: Michael Williams (Problems of Knowledge [2001], Ch.11)

11. Knowledge Aims / B. Certain Knowledge / 1. Certainty

	From: Michael Williams (Problems of Knowledge [2001], Ch. 8)
