Professionals in finance, economics, or related fields often use precise, measured language to avoid ambiguity or misinterpretation. Words like “high likelihood” and “scenario” may feel pretentious, but they serve an important purpose in communicating nuanced ideas with clarity and caution.
When discussing financial matters, being careful with language is critical because vague or overly casual statements can lead to misunderstandings or even impact market perceptions.

The “Non pretentious” version : “nah aint gon happen” leaves many questions. Is that a fact or is that the speaker’s opinion. Is that a hard no or is that an 80% chance, is that a belief because of the speaker’s general experience or is that based on arguments that have been proven not to work in other examples.
The “pretentious” version answers all of these questions in one go. This is a more effective and more precise level of communication that is very much needed in situations where a very accurate judgement is necessary for good results
