Conclusion
Our philosophical intuitions play a significant role in contemporary discussions of the nature of knowledge and moral responsibility, and experimental philosophers have hoped that empirical work might help move these discussions forward by providing a clear picture of the relevant philosophical intuitions.
It turns out that the picture is not so clear. Where we hoped to find consensus, we found conflict. We can accept this, resolve it, or explain it away; but whatever we choose to do, more empirical work is going to be needed. Recognizing this is itself a victory of sorts for experimental philosophy, whose core commitment is that understanding the nature of our philosophical intuitions, and the cognitive processes involved, is something that will require sustained and careful empirical investigation. To see that this investigation is not yet complete is not to see that it isn't needed, but only to see why more is needed.
