I don't know, the English seems to ask for something that supports
the belief. Asking for a proposition that logically entails {do krici}
seems like a totally uninteresting question. The answer "I believe
it because everybody (else) believes it" is not a logical entailment.
"Everybody (including me) believes it, therefore I believe it" is a
logical entailment, but is that the kind of answer you expect?
