I agree. You have to believe it 100% for it to be a delusion. If you have even a sliver of doubt that your thoughts might be 'off', then it's considered an overvalued idea.
BUT I've seen on PC that people say they are 'psychotic' for having hallucinations that they're aware are hallucinations, and overvalued ideas, or that their pdoc called it 'psychosis'. So I think that there must be degrees of psychosis, or at least a spectrum of where each pdoc considers psychosis to begin. And I think if you've been through psychosis before, it can be easier to tell that something is 'off', so it can't be as black and white as that all of the time IRL.
