The case of knowledge is a special case of performance, one that is cognitive or epistemic or doxastic. Belief aims at truth and is accurate or correct if true. Belief can also have the aim of attaining that objective through competence. Belief can aim therefore not just at accuracy (truth), but also at aptness (a kind of knowledge). A belief that attains both aims, that of truth and that of knowledge, is therefore better than one that attains merely the first. That then is a way in which knowledge is as such better than mere true belief. What is more, a belief that is guided to aptness through meta-aptness is better yet; it is fully apt and ascends to the status of knowing full well. This paper develops and defends those theses.
