Sometimes there is a tendency for people to state a weak version of their belief, if they don't believe it strongly. Instead, people should state the clear, strong version of their claim, and indicate that they are not sure about it.

I think the saying is "clear beliefs weakly held", not "strong beliefs weakly held".

Confusing question. I guess this is talking about the claim pages. It could also be talking about how people respond to claims on the 'agreement scale', though, and in that case, people definitely should represent their actual views.
In claim pages, my instinct is people should aim for clarity. I guess people would be tempted to shy away from their full claims, in order to get more agreement, which would be bad.
