This indicates that the model’s beliefs do not align with factual correctness, but instead align more closely with its retraction behavior: low belief scores correspond to retraction, while high scores correspond to non-retraction.

Both the probing and steering results support the conclusion that the model’s belief—defined independently of retraction and trained on separate data—causally affects retraction behavior and generalizes across different d...
