It seems uncontroversial that if one knows (is justified in believing) that p, one knows (is justified in believing) that any contrary evidence to p will be misleading.

In this paper, after criticizing a number of solutions of the puzzle, I offer my own proposal which involves a reappraisal of the notion of misleading evidence.
