This attitude drives me nuts. It's a message board. What do you want from me? We're not settling public policy, we're discussing it. How does it help anyone for me to issue prolix disclaimers about how certain I am about things? How does that even matter? If you think I'm wrong, say I'm wrong, and preferably, why you think that. If I agree, I'll say so. I'll do the same.

I have no actual "authority" on HN.
