5. What pyramid, that you claim others are scaling "all the way to the tip"?

That statement doesn't make much sense to me, considering the distance between it and the original question regarding the nature of belief.

eta: You attributed to me some idea about "belief-based "knowledge"".
Nothing that I wrote substantiates such a notion.
I distinguished a particular from a general such that, and I was clear that this was according as my usage of the terminology, what I know is true is also what I believe is true, but not everything that I might believe is true is what I can say that I know is true.

Nothing in that locution suggests that I would "base" my judgements regarding what I know is true, simply on the basis that I "believe it to true". That's a gross misreading.
