There is no authority in having an opinion you are correct, it has to be evaluated before any "weight" can be attached to it.

This futile little diversion is not an attempt to tell people off, but rather to encourage them to form informed opinions and not to just express themselves authoritivly in the absence of an informed opinion. Cause thats what people do.... people assume opinion has importance...

A post truth society is one filled with unjustifiable opinion. I prefer some honesty.
