Um, okay?

Knowledge claims have a much higher epistemic standard than simple beliefs.
-
Right, which is why I specified that a belief is a [i]claim[/i] to knowledge (which can be right or wrong).
-
Woops, sorry. I didn't explicitly say it was a claim to knowledge, I only implied this.
-
I think when people claim to have knowledge, they are claiming to have not only a belief, but a convincing degree of evidence for their belief. I don't think the same can be true of beliefs. It's a much lower epistemic standard, and not simply equivalent to a knowledge claim. I have many beliefs that I would not claim are knowledge.

That's also why I specified ''to some level of certainty.'' My point is, any meaningful definition of ''believing something'' would include that you believe this is true, and that you're making a claim about reality (which ought to be supported by evidence). I wasn't trying to make a point about epistemic standards, and I should have been more specific, so thanks for the correction.
