It's not Bayesian -- he's implying more-than-one-dimensional stance to beliefs which says you get to decide when to adopt a belief as yours or not, rather than simply assigning numbers according to Bayesian statistics.

Honestly, I'm not sure if that's an improvement over "can't quite verbalize" but hopefully that starts to express what the problem was.
