If you’re actually informed, couching your opinion like this dulls its impact for no good reason. It’s good to speak/write confidently when you have cause to be confident.
Hedging is great for situations where you aren’t confident, but should otherwise be used sparingly.
Thanks, it’s my understanding, that it’s quite likely that I’ll probably keep posting this way due to the whole bundle of neuroses, anxiety and imposter syndrome that makes up my psyche. But that’s just what I’ve heard.
