I'm interested in when you think the utility of beliefs diverges from their truth.

I don't believe we are talking about the same thing. I wasn't talking about utility, I was talking about testability. My operational definition of truth is the accuracy of predictions. Except for the "mathematical truths", which are well formed finite strings of symbols.
