limited perspective

Seeing through blinders

A limited perspective is a viewpoint constrained by incomplete information, narrow experience, or personal bias.

The phrase acknowledges that any single vantage point cannot capture the whole picture: From my limited perspective, the project seems on track, but I'm not seeing the financials.

It often appears as a humble disclaimer or a criticism of someone's narrow thinking.
