..perhaps even ridicule from opponents. cf. "I suspect that Covid 19 originated from Area 51 and aliens helped lab-engineer it. Possibly or maybe probably. But I might conceivably be totally wrong. But I suspect they might have." Hmm. Mercouris is more than intelligent enough to know not to use this kind of gut-feel speculative lingo - I'm surprised he doesn't wince when/if he ever listens to himself repeatedly using such a fluffy expression.
