No. I am saying that to believe something is the result of freely undertaken inquiries and freely accepting their conclusions. How many times have you rechecked some math instead of just trusting that you got the correct answer the first time? At some point you choose whether or not to accept that the results of your calculations are true, i.e. you freely chose to believe they are true.
That last step you keep adding is your mistake. Once the conclusion is comprehended rationally one is compelled to believe it... one does not then decide "Okay it seems rational let's believe it!".
