  Bart Vanderhaegen addressed criticism #3838.

So it is a relative claim about an explanation, relative to another, not versus some absolute criterion of goodness.

So what? I didn’t mention an absolute criterion. My original criticism already applies to both relative and absolute criteria of quality (what you call “goodness”).

Because relative criteria are fine to posit and not justificationist. We can propose criteria that claim that explanation A is better than explanation B without that being justificationism
