I'm not pontificating. I'm only giving my opinion. At least I give
reasons for mine. If you had any idea what you were talking about, you
would give your reasons. Expressing your opinion without doing so is
pontificating. Until then, we have no evidence that you know what you
are discussing. Babylon: "pontificate[pon·tif·i·cate || pɑn'tɪfɪkət
/pɒn-]
v. serve as Pope; behave pompously, act self-righteously.
