Heh! Funny, I was just reading the bit in Anslie’s Breakdown of Will where he discusses the function of beliefs as mobilizing one’s motivations, and now feel obliged to be more tolerant of beliefs that I suspect are confused or mistaken but which motivate activities I endorse—in this case, “running the experiment”, as you say. So I guess I don’t disagree. :) Thanks for the thoughtful response!
