The quickest solution is probably to not speak from a position of authority, or to practice adjusting our style of speech to match our actual level of authority.
Also, usually the annoying part about people who "speak with authority" is the arrogance, not the confidence. One can be confident without being arrogant, and one can (surprisingly) be arrogant without being confident.
You speak with a suspicious quantity of authority on this subject...
