That's not what they said. They said that they believe that rudeness is justified in the situation. That belief could change (or could not) upon further reflection. Hence the concept of regret.
Not thinking about a question isn't a belief, or rocks have beliefs.
There's a difference between the slow methodical relatively inefficient (in terms of effort required for a decision) mode of thought, and the instant thoughts we all have (which we use for almost everything we do and are pretty good about many things but not all things).
Although we've gone from "beliefs" to "thought(s)", it looks like overall we're disputing definitions.
