Why? Hedging is fine. I think it's important to accurately communicate how certain you are of a thing. Constant hedging is annoying, but so is stating everything as if it's a fact, despite how sure you really are.
Communicating confidence is useful.
- AznHisoka 7y agoI totally agree. My beef was with people using vague words like "probably". What does probably mean? 51% likely? 55% likely? 90% likely? It contains no sense of probability, that can be agreed upon. If you're going to attach a probability to an opinion, use "most likely", or "almost certainly", or "unlikely".
