That's actually a distinction made by the Chinese philosopher Ch'eng I - between mere knowledge and a deeper sort - knowing that leaving town at night is dangerous versus having been mauled by a tiger. Of course, he regarded the latter as more properly called 'knowledge'. I think I'm persuaded that belief and emotion are more closely linked than you suggest.
