Yeah, that is a problem with the illustration. However, I don't think it's completely devoid of use.
Taking a risk based on some knowledge is a very strong sign of having internalised that knowledge.
Risking one's life to make a point requires not just belief but an extreme degree of belief, which the crowd was not asked to express.
