Truth is distinct from fact. In this case, you couldn't be blamed for honestly expressing what you believed to be true, even if it turned out to be fact only by technicality.
As for the validity of beliefs...well, that's simply how perception works, isn't it? By nature, we assume a lot about the parts of the world we can't perceive. The authenticity of a grazing bull, for instance, but also the dangers that might be encountered around corners, or the intentions of the people around us, or things far more mundane than that. It's important to allow for variable perception when considering anything so steeped in perception as "belief" and "truth".
