The first of them turns on the fact that belief can seem coarse-grained. It can look like a sturgeon - reason and the grain of belief three-part affair: either given to a claim, given to its negation, or withheld.

According to these principles, rational coarse belief is preserved by conjunction and entailment. The Coarse View accepts that by definition and is thereby the first piece of our Puzzle.The second springs from the sturgeon - reason and the grain of belieffact that belief can seem fine-grained. It can look as if one invests levels of confidence rather than all-or-nothing belief. In this sense of beliefsturgeon - reason and the grain of belief

The second piece of our Puzzle turns on belief seeming fine in this way.3This too brings with it evidential norms, for degree of belief can be more or less reasonably invested, more or less reasonably formed.
