When to Use

• Conclusions synthesized from multiple facts

• Architectural or design beliefs
• Positions you’re taking based on evidence

When NOT to Use

• Single observations (use remember)
• Individual facts (use learn)
• Hunches without supporting facts (use remember)

The belief test: “Based on [these facts], I believe [this conclusion].” If you can’t fill in [these facts], it’s not a belief yet.
