Oh God I try super hard not to do this at work with phrases like "it's my understanding that" and "it appears that". It's such a cop out on something that I'm supposed to be authoritative about. It's really tempting though.

Honestly though, this is a good addendum to any advice given or received, because not everything works the same for everyone at all times.
