III. The Counterargument
Stanley & Williamson (2001) argue knowing-how is knowing-that p — but under a practical mode of presentation. The regress dissolves, they claim, because applying knowledge needn't require further propositions; it requires the right mode of grasping them.
Wittgenstein lurks: no rule specifies its own application. Does the mode-of-presentation move help, or just rename the problem?
