What you are saying is that the level of certainty, as it is addressed in 921, is addressing only the certainty that you hold your opinion to be correct but has nothing to do with the correctness of the opinion itself. This would translate to the degree of certainty you have that you opinion is correct may be only 51% but the opinion itself is to reasonable degree of scientific, engineering, or fire investigation certainty. Your belief in the opinion is one level of certainty where the actual opinion is to another level of certainty.
