Belief, itself, is the issue. Logically, if you believe something, then you already (tacitly) accept that you don't "know" it. If you knew it, you wouldn't have to resort to a belief. However, once you get to believing, then that thing you don't know becomes a "strongly held" belief; then it's only a slight nudge until you accept what you don't know, as something you do know. When that happens, you (a generalized "you," keep in mind) can "know" so much more then you have ever learned, because you don't have to actually know it. Belief, therefore, can be very very dangerous.
