No, they aren’t. I know what an opinion is Jon. I may be judgmental, and perhaps a little stubborn (both come with age), but I’m not stupid.
Oxford Languages defines opinion as: ‘a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.’
Cambridge Dictionary defines it as: ‘a thought or belief about something or someone’.
Merriam-Webster defines it as: ‘a view, judgment, or appraisal formed in the mind about a particular matter’.
Well the Oxford definition supports your position while the Merriam supports mine.
A “view” and especially a “judgement or appraisal” clearly means that a thought process goes into providing an opinion. That is common sense to me. Otherwise it is a “belief” which is not based on facts.
I’m not worried about it. I originally asked you if you had any basis for your opinion and you have answered that.
Dolegla starting the first game, interesting, finally we got real football back.
