Ah, thanks, all good points. Guess I was lumping together the whole unfalsifiability + meaninglessness cluster/region.
Likewise, when I thought “the opposite of a meaningless belief”, it turns out I was really thinking “the opposite of the implied assumption that this belief is meaningful”, which is obviously true if the belief is known to be meaningless… (because IME that’s what arguments usually end up being about)
