Known how... Philosophically
If x is unknown physically, you believe it or not.
If x is known Philosophically you should believe it.
If you don't know whether something is true or false, you have a belief about it with a truth value of unknown. You can't then say that you "believe it is true" or "believe it is false" because you already believe it is unknown. You'd have a contradictory belief. You're saying x is true and x is unknown.
