I wish our culture was better at honestly expressing our level of uncertainty, and being okay and encouraging of other people doing the same. Having widely-understood ways to say "based on what I know now, I think X, but this is a preliminary opinion and I am super-willing to adjust based on new arguments or evidence".

big fan of “currently I think” & then if getting into a back in forth stating my opinion and saying “but my mind can be changed”

feels like it’s a combination of pride & economy of words simultaneously
