No, he didn't, he only gave an example, and I extrapolated from that. As for your definition, I don't think it's particularly useful, because there already is a word for that, but well ... @"what you believe in even though you know it isn't true": that strikes me as nonsenical. How could anyone consider something to be true ("believe" it) while knowing it isn't (thus presumably believing that it isn't true?)?
