The issue is that you treat our opinions as facts that can be debunked. Thus you are rude and make nonsensical arguments.


So now I'm going to spend 7 pages explaining to you how opinions, in fact, CAN be debunked?
Because not only facts (or rather, factual claims) can be "debunked", but factual opinions, as well?

And that after explaining this in perfect detail in a previous comment?
But hey, you know, reply to some other part of that comment, and then pretend to not have read the rest.

Make me explain everything all over again. JESUS CHRIST.



I thought we were talking about the difference between opinions and facts, not talking about how people might misuse those terms in everyday language.


How about both, since the two are kinda related?
Like, because when someone's accusing me of confusing facts with opinions, and posts shitty flawed google graphics to support that, they're kinda misusing those terms... in the everyday language that is this board?

This isn't some academic forum here, and we're not posting peer reviews.

"Everyday language" is the name of the game here, besides, in everyday language as well as anywhere else, "opinion" can both mean personal taste, and conclusion that lacks hard proof.



In everyday conversation, people will claim all kinds of things are facts. But how about that one man or that one pencil that didn't hit the ground?


As I JUST SAID, such "possibilities" are kinda considered, but NOT MENTIONED.

"The pencil will hit the floor" in everyday conversation = "this pencil will hit the floor unless blah blah blah".
Thanks you finally got that now, thanks.



But hey, where was that opinion that I treated as a "fact"? And I mean not just debunked (you can debunk an illogical opinion, too), I mean as FACTS?
Examples.
