English is not my first language but I can say that my understanding
of the words is different

I understand that it means "I am not sure if you are right or wrong about the
facts"

People can be wrong about the facts without lying.

I also believe that I honestly doubt does not mean to say:
"I believe that you are wrong about the facts" but only to say:
"I am not sure if you are right or wrong about the facts".

There is a difference because it is possible not to have a clear opinion.

I believe that you have the right to have a formula not to let 1/2 of the tiger
beta to play so I do not see it as an insult.

You can say that it is not the case without seeing it as an insult
