Goldberg (2005) presents a case where unreliable testimony produces testimonially-based knowledge: a testifier (T) sees evidence that is usually misleading (an empty milk carton) but happens to be accurate on this occasion because an eccentric writer (A) forgot to replace the full carton with an empty one. T tells the hearer (S) that there is milk in the fridge, and A, who is nearby, would have corrected T had the testimony been incorrect.
