Does distinguishing between actual and instrumental belief sound like "a single Level-2 model of reality" to you? I said "use of the concepts without true belief is due to pragmatism". Would you have understood what I meant if I'd capitalised "true belief"? Sorry, Richard, but it seems to me, in this context, it's you that's the True Believer, attached to a single Level-2 model of reality.
