I briefly address Duncan Pritchard's 'parity argument' and argue that it should be pared down to parity between religious hinges and local hinges. I then object to Pritchard's notion of 'honest doubt' as 'religious epistemic vertigo' to account-in the context of a Wittgensteinian epistemology-for the doubt that is often at the heart of religious belief. I argue that the 'local' nature of religious hinges offers a more plausible account
