Hmm. Nice one. I hadn't actually red the definition of opinion in a
long time. What I said above was my operating belief of an incorrect
statement vs. an opinion. I stand by it, even if it's not word for
word correct based on the definition of the word. What I said can be
construed as incorrect though, I agree.

However, I'm guessing that the website in question probably wants to
publish opinions that are based on fact if they have any hope of being
a respectable source of information.

Seems like I should stay away from that website at all costs :)
