I think I get all these opinions about the meaning of an opinion.............after all, we've been around this loop before here..........
Except for one.
Some claim an "opinion" can't be wrong.......... I think that claim is based on the fact that it's just an opinion thus it "can't be wrong".......
Someone who believes that way please explain to dumb old me............how were the humans who believed the Earth was flat NOT wrong?
They were obviously wrong, no? The Earth is not flat. That's fact. Thus the "opinion" held by so many humans at the time was incorrect. WRONG.
Seems to dumb old me that their shared opinions on the Earth's flatness was WRONG. A wrong opinion.
Can somebody help me?
Should be easier than getting me to support Repugnants from the "right".............
Until you have proof it is an opinion. Once you garner proof it’s a fact. If my opinion in 2001 was Tom Brady was the steal of the draft it’s just that. After seeing his career we can agree that the opinion became a fact.
If I argue that Tom Brady was the most handsome player drafted in 2001, it is just an opinion because that is really subjective.
Thx for trying Boris. But that ain't helpful. Sure it's an opinion BEFORE facts come to light and disprove the opinion......... but after the "proof" is revealed (thru the facts appearance) then that opinion is /was WRONG. Thus an opinion can damn sure be wrong......... no?
No. Once it has been proven wrong, it is no longer an opinion.
Well yeah, but that ignores the jerk who wouldn't believe the "new" science and continued to hold fast to his opinion that the Earth is flat............
His "opinion" on the Earth's shape is wrong......... and dumb.
Here's another question (about horses, kinda)
How many combustible engines do y'all estimate there was on this globe 600 years ago?
Hazard a guess?
