Is the correctness of a postulate not also a belief?
No, I think correctness is a philosophical fact, at least sometimes. But the idea that you are correct is for sure a belief.

However, he often makes these (I think) cute noises that people mistake for hiccups and sneezing. He gets advice for stopping hiccups and "bless yous" when we're out in public regularly. One woman, from three aisles over in a CVS, panicked and thought someone was choking. Haha. She was cute. At home, he is much louder. Brains are weird like that.
You said it was close to you, but I didn't know how close. Given that, your restraint is admirable, and the respect I already have for you just got a bump.
