So we all know what the distinction between being right for the right reasons and being right for the wrong reasons is.

Is there a similar distinction between being wrong for the right reasons and being wrong for the wrong reasons? If yes, what would that enthrall?

Are there any good accessible epistemology books /lit/ can recommend that might deal with things like this?

The distinction about being wrong for good or bad reasons doesn't get as much attention, but much of the same reasoning applies. I'm assuming you've read up on Gettier problems, for further reading I recommend Feldman and Connee's Evidentialism

Guess if the next 6 sided dice roll is going to be 1-2 or 3-6, and you guess the latter. If then it happens to land upon a 1, congratulations, you're wrong for the right reasons.
