    Sadly, for me in particular, I sort of remember and I’m probably right, but I’m ready to run away just in case it’s otherwise. My politeness comes from allowing others to correct me, which I do. Sometimes. Be honoured.

      There’s a non zero chance I’m in the matrix and nothing has ever really happened. I will never be 100% sure of anything.

      It is a nice hedge for when you can’t be bothered to spend time looking things up to support a claim and don’t want people asking

        I also use it when I do remember the source, but it’s too much work to find it again.

      This is me 100%.

      Though I’m probably right, I’m fine with being wrong. I don’t want to spread untruths. I’d rather learn the true thing and try not to forget it.

        Same here, but I found that most ppl. overhear /do not register that I did in fact say ‘if…’ they go right ahead an presume I said :‘it is this way and I am correct’. Quite frustrating that.
