6276	'The rug is green' might be warrantedly assertible even though the rug is not green [Putnam]
	Full Idea: 'The rug is green' might be warrantedly assertible even though the rug is not green.
	From: Hilary Putnam (Meaning and the Moral Sciences [1978], Pt Three)
	A reaction: The word 'warranted' seems to be ambiguous in modern philosophy. See Idea 6150. There seem to be internalist and externalist versions. It seems clear to say that a belief could be well-justified and yet false.
