No more so that to insist that one must either believe in existence or believe in nonexistence after the concept exists but prior to evidencial justification for one or the other. When a scientific conjecture involves a new concept, one neither believes in the concept nor disbelieves in it until there is enough evidence one way or the other to justify a choice. Quote
