This distinction allows for the potential of an artificial belief/perspective, one which the person does not hold to be true but acts as though it is, to have more impact than the actual belief/perspective. It would be difficult to do as it seems people are fully unaware of these actions caused by their perspective/belief, yet it is possible. It would seem
