In ‘The Nature of Content: A Critique of Yli-Vakkuri and Hawthorne’, Sarah Sawyer argues that we failed to attend to the fundamental distinction between indexical and non-indexical thought in Narrow Content, and for that reason the efficacy of our arguments against the narrow content theorist is seriously impaired. Sawyer is right that that distinction does not figure prominently in our book. However, for reasons we made manifest, that distinction does not offer a promising basis for developing a theory of narrow content. In what follows we will speak to this theme, as well as addressing some important matters of detail.

The springboard for my discussion will be a mistake in their presentation, one that points to a real problem with the model. My remarks will have a broad interest, since certain of the key examples point to intriguing questions concerning the epistemic contours of testimony and memory. I'll also raise instructive difficulties for a theoretically important weakening of the JTB treatment of knowledge.
