Threshold of Belief - Defined
Threshold of belief (TOB)is defined as a level, point, or value above which a person is no longer willing to believe something is true or will take place and below which the person willingly accepts as true.
TOB is analogous to TOP: How much are you willing to pay for your belief? For example, are you willing to die and take otherwise innocent lives with you, because you believe heaven awaits you?

TOB is analogous to TOP: How much are you willing to pay for your belief? Willing to die, for instance?
My BASIC principle is that you don't make decisions because they are easy; you don't make them because they are cheap; you don't make them because they're popular; you make them because they're right
-- Theodore Hesburgh, C.S.C. Former President of Notre Dame
Hesburg’s Decision Making Principle
Lacking an effective decision making framework, we make decisions as a function of our Threshold of Belief (TOB).
A premise for example, is that We have access to digitized knowledge accumulated over the last 6,000 years. We are working on tools to extract that knowledge to make ethical business decisions.

TOB and Betsy’s CowI use Betsy the Cow and its friends to
illustrate DeBono’s Six hats, usually including a graphic asking the audience to tell me the first thing they see. Invariably, they see a couple - but most are not able to identify a baby - formed by the outline of the landscape.

TOB And Forces of Influence
For years, law enforcement has worked on cataloguing thousands of facial expressions to used them as a pseudo lie detector.
MIT is working on social context prototypes taking advantage of what we say without uttering a word.
The point is that the assertion that “I can still be objective” may not be be quite true, as a function of TOB
