3361 mḗ (a particle which functions as an adverb) – no, not. 3361 (mḗ) negates “subjectively,” ruling out any implications (“suggestions”) that could be involved with what should (could, would) apply.

3361 /mḗ (“not”) negates the underlying idea (concept) of a statement, ruling out its possibilities, i.e. all that it suggests on a conceptual or hypothetical plane.

[3361 /mḗ (“not, no”) then negates the implications (suggestions) that naturally spring from the negated statement.]

οὐ denies “the thing itself” … denies simply, absolutely, categorically, directly, objectively.
οὐ denies “the belief system itself” directly and objectively.
οὐ denies the objective contents of the belief system.

μή denies “the thoughts about the thing” not the thing itself.
μή denies the thought or judgement of the thing, or the thing according to the judgment, opinion, will, purpose, preference, of someone, indirectly, hypothetically, subjectively.
μή denies “the reason for” their disbelief, or lack thereof of good reasons.
μή denies their opinions about “the belief system”
μή denies their interpretation and conclusions about the belief system.

A belief system can be argued to objectively exist, and contain ideas, theories and conclusions in an of themselves, but the truth or falsity of the belief system can be hotly debated.

οὐ denies the whether someone has a handle on the intricacies of the belief system or legal system itself, not whether or not it is corrupt. You can argue whether or not a specific law exists and how it is to be applied.

μή denies what is debated about the truth or falsity of the belief system, not whether or not the belief system is an objective and an operational fact. μή does not care that a law exist, rather it denies whether or not the law is logically sound, theoretically honest, internally contradictory, corrupt and or morally sensible.

μή, the Sept. for אַל, אַיִן, אֵין, a particle of negation, which differs from οὐ (which is always an adverb) in that οὐ denies the thing itself (or to speak technically, denies simply, absolutely, categorically, directly, objectively), but μή denies “the thought of the thing”, or the thing according to the judgment, opinion, will, purpose, preference, of someone (hence, as we say technically, indirectly, hypothetically, subjectively). This distinction holds also of the compounds οὐδείς, μηδείς, οὐκέτι, μηκέτι, etc. But μή is either an adverb of negation, not (Latinnon, ne); or a conjunction, that … not, lest (Latinne); or an interrogative particle (Latinnum) (i. e. (generally) implying a neg. ans.; in indirect question, whether not (suggesting apprehension)).

universally: ᾧ μή πάρεστι ταῦτα, where μή is used because reference is made merely to the thought that there are those who lack these things, 2 Peter 1:9; ἅ μή ἑώρακεν, which (in my opinion) he hath not seen (because they are not visible)

ἤδη κέκριται, ὅτι μή πεπίστευκεν.—
Because he hath not believed.
-represented by the writer as the thought τοῦ κρίναντος, John 3:18 (differently in 1 John 5:10, where “the faith denied” is considered as something positive and actual); ἅ μή δεῖ, in the judgment of the writer, Titus 1:11.

where, indeed, a definite person or thing is referred to, but in such a way that his (its) quality or action (indicated by the participle) is denied in the thought or judgment either of the writer or of some other person
