Senior Seminar
Gettier Case
Charles and Carlos were the last two players at try-outs and there was only one
spot left on the team. The coach was going to have a talk with the two of them to
see how they felt about commitment. After having the talk, he came onto the loud
speaker in the waiting room and announced that the player that was going to be
selected would be the player with the same first name as famous guitarist,
Santana. Carlos and Charles immediately knew that Carlos had made the team
because they were both fond of the famous guitarist and knew that his first name
was Carlos. When the manager came out to greet the player that was selected, he
walked right past Carlos and patted Charles on the back. He congratulated
Charles on making the team. This confusion occurred because both the boys did
not know that when the name Carlos is translated into English, it is actually
Charles.
