** Bob isn't actually a nonbeliever, but rather a lapsed Troper or a Troper from a different branch of Troperism than Alice. His "conversion" is really just him returning to the fold or switching brands. But in Alice's [[FalseDichotomy extremely binary worldview]], you're either a member of her specific branch of Troperism, or you're not a Troper at all, so she still counts it as a conversion. Bob may come to agree if Alice's beliefs are part of their now-shared branch of Troperism instead of just Alice's personal fanaticism.
