Don't confuse the positions that someone takes with his general skill level in navigating arguments.

I didn't intend to communicate that.

I meant to communicate that logical thinking and evaluating arguments is a level one skill, while understanding the nature of evidence and parsimony is a level two skill.

Having "faith" means that your skill level in philosophy doesn't exceed level one, however well you may have mastered level one (well, maybe not strictly true since you can derive notions of parsimony from logic)
