present continuous

----------
Some other verbs describing preferences and mental state (e.g. agree, believe, conclude, know, prefer) are rarely used with the present continuous:

Please, give me examples of "agree", "believe", "conclude", "know", "prefer" that used exceptionally with the present continuous.

CalifJimwhy you would want examples of constructions that are almost never used is a mystery.
Very rare or exceptional cases I don't prefer, but as a learner, I just want to be a forward-leaner on these ones, readying for rare or exceptional cases that will confront me far into the future.
