But the Gohan/Goku example is spot on. Gohan thought Goku could do more than he could. They could very well be thinking Beerus could do more than he is able as well.
They've also been wrong about how much destruction attacks would do as well. I could make a list for this as well.
I know they seemed sure, but they could be wrong. Goku seemed sure the Spirit Bomb would end Frieza too. Seeming sure is not the end all in DB
