narrow view
Limited perspective only
A narrow view is a limited perspective that fails to consider the full range of relevant factors, alternatives, or viewpoints.
It suggests tunnel vision or unwillingness to look beyond one's immediate assumptions: Taking a narrow view of the budget crisis, they focused only on cutting costs.
The phrase often carries a critical tone, implying that broader thinking would yield better understanding or decisions.
