Suspension of disbelief

I don't like the term "suspension of disbelief", because it's kind of a double negative, and I always have to stop to figure out what it means in context. I usually mentally substitute just the word "belief", or sometimes "gullibility".

PS - It does make the sentences less "active", though.
PPS - But if it's also less confusing, I'll accept that.
