English term or phrase: make exaggerated claims
We must not, however, make exaggerated claims for our theories and models. As de Beaugrande warns:

It is inappropriate to expect that a theoretical model of translation should solve all the problems a translator encounters. Instead, it should formulate a set of strategies for approaching problems and for coordinating the different aspects entailed.

fazer afirmações exageradas


Explanation:
Penso que neste contexto pode perfeitamente utilizar-se o termo "afirmações" que segundo o Dicionário de Inglês-Português da Michaelis também é correcto.
