Yes, I wrote it. I also use ‘I think’ when I know something. It’s a fairly common feature of conversational English.

When defending an article that you intend to be taken seriously, it's pretty fucking weird to say you think you know what the point is. You wrote it, you know what the point is. Just say it, don't hedge it.

Both of these problems are solved with a block button 😇
