not saying 'I know'
attitude: some people can think like this (see more)

When I want to say to other people “I think like this.” about something, it can be good to say something like this at the same time “I say I think like this. I don’t say I know it.”
"I think there's some popcorn in the cupboard. Not sure though."
"I heard that Elton John is going to be playing in Sydney at New Years Eve. The person I heard it from could be wrong though."
