Get the Belico mug.I think your fridge analogy involves a failure to compartmentalize between different types of behaviors. For example, I can say that I am 100% certain that my friend wouldn't randomly punch me in the face (unprompted). But if he drew back and feinted a punch and I were to flinch you could say "If you were 100% certain why did you flinch?" But that's more of a reflex in response to stimulus than it is a deliberate act in accordance with a belief. If I sacrifice a goat because I believe a reality monster is going to reward me, that is a deliberate act in accordance with an articulated belief. So it's not quite the same. So, as it relates to your fridge analogy, you could be certain that there is no food in the fridge but in response to hunger you could check the fridge anyway out of compulsion. There could even be an element of conditioning involved. You're hungry. What do you do when you're hungry? You check the fridge. You know there's nothing in the fridge because you didn't buy any groceries. But you go to the fridge anyway because you've conditioned yourself to check the fridge when you're hungry. Reflex, compulsion, conditioning could all be considered "A-belief behavior." You can believe it's wrong to masterbate in public but if you're a compulsive masterbator you might end up doing it anyway.
