If we hold our beliefs up to the light to determine whether they are based on things we truly know from our own experience or whether they are simply things we have taken in from the society around us that we cannot be sure of, we can determine whether our beliefs represent knowledge or speculation on our behalf.
If a belief is not based on our own knowing then it would be unwise to be too arrogant about such a belief or to place too much emphasis on it, as such beliefs based on popular opinion often turn out to be false.
