[링글 복습] I posit that vs. I think that

What is the difference between 'posit' and 'think'?

 

'Posit' and 'think' are interchangeable sometimes. Still, the main difference is that 'think' is a) simpler b) centers on the person (what they think), whereas 'posit' is a) more advanced vocabulary and b) more about the suggestion or the thought being made/put forward (rather than the individual suggesting it).

 

Posit = more like a suggestion/debate-point, something being pointed out to others to consider. It is more along the lines of "I argue that X" rather than "I think X" (which is less about putting forward an argument and more about sharing that person's personal opinion).
