If you are allowed to look at statements in a way that varies their meaning to the opposite, you may as well close your eyes. Justified means being supported by a powerful truth-engine, not being accompanied by a believed rationalization. If "from my point of view", it is correct to expect to safely fly when I step out the window, it doesn't make it correct, this expectation won't be justified in the normal use of the word.

Yeah, but your "point of view" doesn't include any stupid belief you have. If you could explicitly justify why you expected to fly when you stepped out that window, and trace that justification all the way back to elementary logic and fundamental observations, it would be totally rational for you to expect that.
It wouldn't be your fault if the "rules" suddenly changed so that you fell, instead.
