I don't talk of belief in that sense. For me belief is something that you 
accept having enough information, it's not a guess or something that you 
think but you are not quite convinced.
When you believe something you are sure.

I know that in English (and also in Spanish) we use the word "believe", as 
saying "I believe that..." when you are not quite sure, and it's just 
something that you think that could be true but you have some doubts.

Well, when I talk about believing in these other contexts, it's not like 
that.

It's basically "to accept something". You could not be totally sure or 
convinced at the beginning, but once you are on that path (the path of 
believing something) you can see more evidence that confirms your initial 
acceptance or to deny it, and then you don't believe that any more.

Then I could say: to believe (in this context) is to be convinced about 
something.

Of course you can understand the word in other meaning, but I explain how 
I'm using it here.

Why unresolvable? I have no problem with Mike. I appreciate him because of 
his help and contributions to the VB group.

And about I'm at an "extreme"... may be, I don't want to be a mediocre 
anyway
