I’m unsure I have a good internal picture of what sincerity is pointing at. Does being sincere differ much from “truly, actually, super-duper, very much so” believing in something?
I think I mean the same thing you mean by “real beliefs, rather than, say, belief-in-belief”. So, I’m saying, it’s not confirmation bias that causes the good thing, it’s sincerity that makes the confirmation bias comparatively harmless.

Gotcha, thanks.
