Biases are not merely distorting lenses applied to pre-existing beliefs; they are the construction materials from which beliefs are built and reinforced. This means you cannot separate 'what someone believes' from 'how their biases operate'—the bias IS the belief-forming engine. Any attempt to change a belief without addressing the underlying bias will fail because you're attacking the output, not the factory.
