Abstract: Because of the privileged place of belief in explaining behaviour, mismatch cases - in which agents sincerely claim to believe that p, but act in a way that is inconsistent with that belief - have attracted a great deal of attention. In this paper, I argue that some of these cases, at least, are explained by agents believing that they believe that p, while failing to believe that p. They do not believe that ~p; rather, they have an indistinct first-order, beliefy, representation that p.
