Knowledge and reliability are fundamentally linked in epistemological discourse, where reliability is debated as a necessary condition for knowledge [1], [2], [3]. Scholars explore this relationship by examining whether knowledge requires evidence of reliability [4], [5], [6], or if reliability is a defining normative attribute of knowledge itself [7], [8].
