Can someone tell me who proposed this hedging?? For educational purposes

[@AcademicEnglishUK]

It's just common practice in academic writing. It was discovered through the use of corpus linguistics.

[@igic9663]

'Certain' doesn't seem to soften the language.

Hi, thanks for your comment. Hedging is making decisions about your stance on a particular subject, or the strength of the claims you are making. For example, if you are certain, then use certain.

[@hounddoggurxi203]

If only you are making an academic writing. you don't have to use Hedging all the time in normal basis.
