That may be true, but you will not know that until you have
listened to the other opinions.

Authored by: Anonymous on Sunday, March 03 2013 @ 03:00 PM EST

An opinion that has value is based upon the best information at hand. It is not just whatever somebody 'thinks'; at least not on this site. If you don't provide the information to support your opinion or you don't state your qualifications to have a such opinion then there is no context within which to judge the value it. No context - no value.

That is why Groklaw's evaluation of things is of value when I am formulating my personal opinion on these matters. I have come to this conclusion because of the efforts to provide the supporting documentation, the track record of being even handed and having done this for a long time.

Dictionary Reference

I guess I am saying that an opinion should involve critical thinking in order to have value.

Critical Thinking

What gives the Wikipedia entry value is the supporting references upon which the entry is based.

IMO :)

> Some opinions are better than others.

That in itself is an opinion, according to the subjectiveness of better.

Unfortunately, I cannot take the credit for originating the observation that one
does not have to eat all of an egg to ascertain that it is rotten.
