I think that is an excellent standard to use when you're talking about using the overbearing power of the state to mere out punishment, as Blackstone was writing about.

I don't see why my personal belief about what is and is not true should follow what is correct for the state. Because I'm not the state. I'm a private citizen with my own reason. I can make nuanced judgments, I am not bound by the laws of evidence, I can think in terms of probabilities, and I do not have the power to imprison or execute people based on the judgments I make. The state needs to have a high standard of certainty for specific reasons that don't apply to individual citizens.
