I keep going over in my mind the difference between believing something you don't know for certain to be true versus disbelieving something you have nearly certain evidence that it is true

-
the difference between believing something you don't know for certain to be true and treating something you don't know for certain to be true as true provisionally is also interesting
-
the difference there is...? the degree of vigor of your faith? provisional belief is deliberately thin faith?
-
if the thickness is zero is it still faith? we're immersed in things where we have to pick a working position just to operate, how often do we unnecessarily invest that choice with faith?
-
the limit case is faith ---> hypothesis as thickness goes to 0.

Act vs rule utilitarian calculation, when you know that following the rule consistently will have a better outcome overall than making correct exceptions to the rule.
