The penultimate paragraph about our beliefs isn't about Bayesianism so much as heuristics and biases. Unless you were a Bayesian from birth, for at least part of your life your beliefs evolved in a crazy fashion not entirely governed by Bayes' theorem. It is for this reason that we should be suspicious of the beliefs based on assumptions we've never scrutinized.
