Loose talk, the context of assessment, and skeptical invariantism

Russell ([2022]. "Fancy Loose Talk About Knowledge." Inquiry 65: 789-820.) defends a novel form of skeptical invariantism, according to which knowledge ascriptions are hardly ever true because they are so demanding, but nonetheless are ordinarily used loosely to communicate truths, where the felicity of loose talk is relative to the context of assessment as well as the context of use. I argue that while there is very good reason to believe that 'know' is a demanding term commonly used loosely, we need not and should not conclude that loose use is assessment relative or that knowledge ascriptions are hardly ever true.
