by it's very definition an opinion cannot be wrong
it can be ill informed, dangerous or even evil. But never wrong.

fucking is
but this doesn't detract from the fact that an opinion cannot be "wrong"

it is my opinion that the earth is actually a dodecahedron made of green jelly.
this opinion is clearly and demonstrably wrong.

The above may be deliberately silly to prove a point, but there are plenty of other opinions which are just as clearly and demonstrably wrong and none the less sincerely held by many.

the facts you portray are wrong, it's not an opinion

An opinion is a statement of that which one believes to be true.
if one believes incorrectly the opinion is wrong. feel free to offer a better definition of the word opinion that fits your ludicrous claim.

the facts that the opnion are based on may be wrong, but the person's belief in them cannot be wrong per se as it is a belief or opinion

If you believe in something that isn't true, then your belief, however sincere, was wrong and if you cannot admit this you have issues. I have had many wrong opinions in the past and I probably still do, the fact that I do not know it yet does not make me right.

it's really so simple a child could understand it, so I shall assume you are just trolling as even an advertising cunt can't be that thick. remind me not to try to have a serious conversation with you again.

Opinion
noun
view or judgement formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge

Latin, from the stem of opinari 'think, believe'

and nowhere in that does is say that views, judgements, thoughts or beliefs cannot be wrong.
in fact they frequently are as any fool knows.

Another case of a word not meaning what you think it means.

I am quite happy with Tangles stated definition.
I just don't see how it contradicts my point, although feel free to argue otherwise.
