Well, I certainly agree that "X is true" and "I believe that X" have different meanings.

My point was just that asserting their conjunction doesn't mean anything, except metonymically.

So it sounds like I misunderstood the original point. In which case my comment is a complete digression for which I should apologize.

Thanks for the clarification.
