But "I strongly believe" isn't a split infinitive; "I was led to erroneously believe" would be a split infinitive.
A split infinitive is the seperation of "to" and the rest of the infinitive form of the verb, as in "to boldly go where no man has gone before." The grammatically "correct" construction would be "to go boldly where no man has gone before."
