In the 'Chicago Visitor' case, a character named Morris asks a passerby for directions to the Sears Tower at a Chicago train station. The passerby provides accurate directions, and Morris forms a true belief based on this information. Jennifer Lackey argues that because the passerby's contribution is the most salient part of the explanation for why Morris learned the truth, Morris does not deserve credit for the belief, yet he still possesses knowledge, which Lackey uses to argue that the credit thesis is false.
