    Summary
    In this paper, I argue against recent versions of justification norms of action and practical deliberation (Neta, Noûs 43:684-699, 2009; Gerken, Synthese 178:529-547, 2011, Synthese 189:373-394, 2012; Smithies, Noûs 46:265-288, 2012). I demonstrate that these norms yield unacceptable results in deception cases. However, a further modification of justification norms in the light of these results appears to be ad hoc. Hence, I claim, we should reject justification norms of action and practical deliberation.
