This of course is an entirely bogus question. The primary question that should occupy you is whether your beliefs are accurate, and how to make them more accurate. This community should not be about "how can I be seen to be a goodthinking person" but "how can I be less wrong?"

I like this. This clarifies a lot for me.

Thanks. You should definitely read No One Can Exempt You From Rationality's Laws, from which this idea is largely drawn.
