This is a reason to pay attention to ideas that are not beliefs (or hypotheses). Becoming a belief and making contact with a possible reality is an optional property, so if you require it, you disregard a more natural class of building blocks of thought. The uncontroversial example is math, but I think this applies to informal non-mathy ideas just as well.
