 Having thus outlined the classificatory scheme, a number of additional comments are in order. Notice that disbelieving \(A\) is to be distinguished from not believing \(A\). One cannot rationally believe and disbelieve the same proposition (although see  note 12).  Hence, I ought to ensure that when I disbelieve \(A\), I do not believe \(A\). The converse, however, obviously does not hold since I can fail to believe \(A\) without actively disbelieving it. I may, for instance, choose to suspend my judgment as to whether \(A\) pending further evidence, or I may simply never have considered whether \(A\). Furthermore, I will remain neutral on the question as to whether the attitude of disbelieving \(A\) should be identified with that of believing \(\neg A\).
