I have mixed feelings:
That's a fair point, but that doesn't apply to everything. Believing something strongly is more about the factual basis of things, rather than direct desires for improvements. Like, I wouldn't say I have a strong belief that I want a bagel right now, I just want the bagel, but I can say I have a strong belief that bagels are a type of bread.
okay fair enough. But placing "want" aside, I also think people should be able to say there shouldn't be yellow smoke even if they aren't experts.
Sure, but I maintain that we are talking about different scenarios.
