قَصْرًا حَقِيقِيًّا ادِّعَائِيًّا
A real-looking restriction asserted through a rhetorical claim.

Calling one scholar “the only learned person here” may disregard lesser scholars deliberately, not deny their physical existence or all learning. The claim aims at praise or emphasis; it does not make every rival literally nonexistent.
