Yes, I believe something with low certainty, at least partially because I can't fully articulate it. That doesn't mean I don't believe it, however, and I can't think of a better way to grow my understanding of something than to take a position on it on the Internet!

Almost all of my beliefs/opinions are built on some form or another of sand. Certainty is the real mind killer, IMO.
