I don't trust my ability to make correct probability estimates, don't trust the overall arguments and methods and don't know how to integrate that uncertainty into my estimates. It is all too vague.

Essentially, uncertainty -> wider confidence intervals and less certainty (i.e. fewer extreme probability estimates).
