jimrandomh specifically gives this example:

"I'm not sure whether I agree with your conclusion, because there's an alternative hypothesis that could explain the data."

Are you worried that a statement like that would anchor for uncertainty?

My point is much simpler - sometimes you just don't know if you agree or disagree.
