"I can only speak from my experience"

.
What an idiotic and self-aggrandizing line: "I can only speak from my experience."

It suggests, in its pseudo-humility and feigned understanding, that anyone might speak from something other than his or her own experience.

How in the wide world of sports could that be possible?

But I too have used the line.

Still, I never claimed I wasn't a self-absorbed idiot... speaking from my own experience.
