   Indeed, why does there have to be a disposition to behave when I
   have a belief?  Why can't I believe something w/o any inclination
   to behave as if I do.  How can you be sure you can detect this?
   And what does the "disposition" now amount to?

You're adding a new constraint when you say "a disposition to behave
*as if* you believe something."  The behavior needn't reflect the
belief in this way.
