A belief can be evidence for its stipulated meaning (this holds often), but could also be counterevidence, or irrelevant. What is a belief evidence for? Not at all automatically its stipulated meaning.

Would it be possible for you to go ahead and spring your trap anyway? I’m very curious what you had in mind.
