Re: Epistemological question
For those unfamiliar with Gettier's story when he was first up for tenure in the early 1960's he had not yet published anything, so at the behest of his colleagues he submitted for publication a 3-page paper entitled "Is Justified True Belief Knowledge" which through the use of counterexamples overturned the prevailing conception of knowledge as justified true belief, and spawned an industry of papers for the next decade trying to solve the problem. I don't think he's published anything since.
