A mistake of rationality is quite different from a perceptual error, for instance. It’s even different to being wrong, since one can be right for irrational reasons.
“Having a well-defined notion of something is a prerequisite for belief in it
I disagree. I believe in consciousness, but don’t have a well defined notion of it.
I don’t have a well-defined notion of woojits
On the one hand, “woojit” might be intended as a synonym for something you do believe in. On the other hand. if it is meaningless, “woojits don’t exist” is meaningless.
Either way, you should not conclude that woojits don’t exist because you don’t know
what they are

Agreed.
This doesn’t strike you as being a problem?
