Words can confuse us. The word “opinion” is such a word. “I have the right to my opinion!” It can mean a highly emotionally charged assertion of a superficially understood position. It can also mean a substantial, fully researched, explored and argued judgment on an issue of national import. When all we have is “fact” and “opinion” we make decisions based on the 4Ps: power, position, personality, and politics. We need objective standards for well-reasoned conclusions.
