Other than offering a personal, subjective, opinion,
Precisely ...
My response had to do with my understanding of the original question. The original question was,"What is the term for a person who "speaks beyond their scope or knowledge?" One who limits his or comments to expressing an opinion, carefully labelled as such, is never speakling beyond his or her scope or knowledge. I always know what my opinion is, and so am never guilty of speaking beyond my knowledge when offering my opinion, as long as I make it clear that such offerings are no more than my opinion. For me to do otherwise would be to make myself guilty of sciolism, and liable to the derision such rightly incurs. It goes without saying that the preceding is, of course, strictly IMHO.
