 The generality of [1] in this explanation seems to cover more cases than any definite list of actual beliefs that someone has could include. Moreover, the fact that [1] supports counterfactuals by applying to whatever one might possibly believe (about attaining goals) suggests that it is a law-like generalization. If the truth predicate played a fundamental role in the expression of an explanatory law, then deflationism would seem to be unsustainable.
