DSBI, standing for 'Don't Swear By It,' is the cautionary counterpart to ISBI, 'I Swear By It.' While ISBI is used for wholehearted endorsements, DSBI advises skepticism and restraint. It's a phrase for expressing doubt or moderate expectations, suggesting that something might not be as groundbreaking or reliable as it seems. In essence, DSBI is a way of saying, 'It's interesting, but hold off on the full endorsement until it's proven itself.'
