What strikes me as odd is that you aren't able to both say 'I don't know and I don't believe' or 'I don't know but I believe'.
I should apologize for being dense or inattentive, but somehow I find it difficult to parse that sentence to the point of being confident that I've correctly understood what you were trying to say. I suspect that I couldn't fail to disagree with you less, but I can't be sure...
So I'd be very grateful if you could take a moment to belabor it a bit, and lay it out a tad more verbosely for me...
