I know what I’m talking about...

Hola. I've been playing for X amount of years and I know what I'm talking about. I'm going to state my opinion in such a manner that it can be read as puwre fact. You are sure allowed to state your opinion, but that's all it will ever be. If you don't agree with my opinion, that's cool too because nobody is perfect.
I've been playing for XX years, your pure fact is fallicious and is to be ignored. Fact is as changeable as the flow of the tide.

:D Pretty familiar! Here's how my mind reads these kinds of posts ...

Hola. I've been playing for X amount of years and I know what I'm talking about.
I'm sure you do.
I'm going to state my opinion in such a manner that it can be read as pure fact.
Please do.
You are sure allowed to state your opinion, but that's all it will ever be.
I will. Of course.
If you don't agree with my opinion, that's cool too because nobody is perfect.
Right, and I'll graciously allow you to be wrong.
 
The relativist fallacy, also known as the subjectivist fallacy, is claiming that something is true for one person but not true for someone else. The fallacy is supposed to rest on the law of noncontradiction. The fallacy applies only to objective facts, or what are alleged to be objective facts, rather than to facts about personal tastes or subjective experiences, and only to facts regarded in the same sense and at the same time. On this formulation, the very name "relativist fallacy" begs the question against anyone who earnestly (however mistakenly or not) holds that there are no "objective facts." So some more work must be done, in a non-question-begging way, to make it clear wherein, exactly, the fallacy lies.

Dunning–Kruger effect
In psychology, the Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people of low ability have illusory superiorityand mistakenly assess their cognitive abilityas greater than it is. The cognitive bias of illusory superiority comes from the inability of low-ability people to recognize their lack of ability. Without the self-awareness of metacognition, low-ability people cannot objectively evaluate their actual competence or incompetence.
I read this argument before when flat earthers claim everyone else suffers from cognitive dissonance because we "normal" people refute their "evidence" which is always failed and disproven experiments concocted many decades ago.

Until you define X your statement is invalid. Once X is defined all must accept that there is a greater X somewhere. Possibly many of them. Beware X.
