How does that make us cannibals? At best, it just makes us crazy...
Yes. You are not really a cannibal. You are just crazy and believe yourself to be a cannibal. (Unless, of course, you are really eating human flesh on other occasions, in which case you are actually a cannibal.)
More correctly, he believes himself to be doing that thing that would make him a cannibal, whilst simultaneously believing that doing that thing in fact would not make him a cannibal.
