The most difficult problem for mathematical Platonism is the epistemological problem raised by Paul Benacerraf and Hartley Field. Recently, Mark Balaguer argued that his version of mathematical Platonism, Full Blooded Plantonism (FBP), can solve the epistemological problem. In this paper, I show that there are serious problems with Balaguer's argument. First, I analyse Balaguer's argument and reveal a formal defect in his argument. Then I raise an objection based on an analogical argument. Finally, I disarm some potential moves from Balaguer.
