If I predict rain tomorrow based on satellite and radar imagery showing a cold front forming, and it does rain, I’m right. If I predict rain because I saw a black cat walk under a ladder, and it rains, am I right (but for the wrong reasons) or am I just wrong? Can one ever be right for the wrong reasons?

This is almost a Gettier problem The traditional criteria for knowledge is a Justified True Belief. Here, your belief is not justified, because cats do not relate causally with rain So you are just wrong But it gets more interesting…
