I looked into the way this word is used. In TP, J, and ChinesePod Glossary*, for example, it's almost always a *mistaken* notion, with just the exception noted below.

(A typical example: 我以为你走了,原来你还在那里等我。)
And I think that should be reflected in the cedict definition.

However, searching for 我以为 (instead of 以为), I found that a fair proportion of hits in TP were cases where there was no implication that the notion was mistaken. Here are some of them:

「我以為詩是一種感情的言語,而詩人最大的快慰應該是:當他為一顆星,一片雲寫詩的時候,那顆星,那片雲瞭解他的言語;當他為一個人寫詩的時候,那人瞭解他的言語。」
"I believe that poetry is a language of emotion. A poet has no greater satisfaction than when, if writing for a star or a cloud, the star or cloud understands his language; or when, if writing for a person, the person understands his language."--Yang Mu, in the afterword to Water's Brink.

「我以為TTG服務為榮,」來自台南的「台藝玻藝術玻璃」設計總監馮總慶也表示,他之所以加入團隊擔任義務顧問,也是受林總精神感召,看他眼光長遠,又願意為產業付出那麼多,「不要說獨立維持台灣玻璃館的營運成本了,光是2008年家具展就租了60個攤位,又出錢又出人,讓許多新加入的成員因為那次展覽而熟識起來。」
"I'm proud to serve TTG," says Feng Zongqing, the head of design at TGA Glass Enterprise in Tainan. He joined TTG as an unpaid advisor because he was inspired by Lin's vision and willingness to sacrifice. "TMG covers all the costs of the Glass Hall alone, and at the 2008 furniture exhibition put up the money and manpower for 60 stands."

以最近很流行的情緒智商(EQ)來看,我以為這是人生成長階段很重要的人格培養。
To put it in terms of that new buzzword, EQ (emotional quotient), it seems to me that education in Taiwan has deprived us of the chance to mature emotionally at a key stage of our development.

我一直認為,人生的目的並不是來讀書做學問的,教育只是人生的一個過程、一種手段,我以為人生值得追求的是幸福跟快樂。問題是:在現實的人生裡頭,幸福快樂並不只是主觀的意願,它有客觀的需求,它必須滿足某些條件,這個快樂幸福才是持久恆真的。我以為一個快樂的人生,必須具備了下列三個條件:
I have always felt that there is more to life than acquiring knowledge. Education is only a process, and a means to an end. What we should be seeking is happiness. The problem is that happiness is not totally subjective. If happiness is to last, one must satisfy certain objective conditions. I believe that to live a happy life, you have to meet the following three conditions: ...

「人們為教育者設立的條件極多,從愛心到學識,從寫黑板到哄孩子,好像必須十項全能,但我以為,最重要的是要有眼光,」人本教育基金會董事史英說,教育者能從「壞孩子」身上看出成長的契機,自然能從廢墟中看出重建的藍圖。
Says Shih Ying, a member of the board of directors for HEF: "People expect a lot from educators. We require them to be both nurturing and highly educated. We want them to stand at the blackboard, and we want them to take a kid in their arms when the kid needs it. They have to be all things to all people. But I think the most important thing of all is for them to be a good judge of character." If a teacher can see the heart of gold in a "problem child," says Shih, then he'll naturally be able to see the blueprint of a new school amidst the rubble of collapsed buildings.

為何對戲劇情有獨鍾?賴聲川的說法是,他對很多不同領域的藝術都有興趣,從小畫畫,大學時玩音樂,對文學、攝影也有濃厚的興趣,「我以為劇場可以融合這些不同的興趣,所以往這個方向走。」
What is it that drew Stan Lai to theater? As he explains it, he has always been interested in a diverse range of the arts, having painted since childhood, in college engaging in music-related activities, and being deeply interested in literature and photography. "I got the idea that theater could bring all these varied interests together and so struck off in that direction."

大環境的美醜,當然也是美感養成的重要因素,但我以為還是先要有美感教育,才能訓練出對於美感「有反應」的國民。現在的問題是,大家根本連好壞都分不出來了。
The beauty and ugliness found in one's environment also, of course, are important factors in the cultivation of one's aesthetic sensibility. But I still feel that aesthetic education is needed before we can really start to see people who are trained to have "aesthetic reflexes." The problem we face now is that people can't even tell the difference between what is good and what is bad.
Diff:
- 以為 以为 [yi3 wei2] /to believe/to think/to consider/to be under the impression/
+ 以為 以为 [yi3 wei2] /to think (i.e. to take it to be true that ...) (Usually there is an implication that the notion is mistaken – except when expressing one's own current opinion.)/
