When you know that some of your beliefs are false, and you know that leaving them be is instrumentally rational, you do not develop the automatic reflex of interrogating every suspicion of confusion.

Noticing confusion is about noticing your feelings and reacting towards them. Acknowledging your feelings and thinking about their causes is useful whether the feeling is confusion, anger or fear.
