You mean "opinion". Nobody said it was, and if that's true of him - and therefore everyone else - and the implication was that we shouldn't express our opinions, then we wouldn't have a Web, would we? Indeed, we wouldn't have a culture. We might not have language. Nobody could express a view because nobody's opinion would be worth any more than anyone else's. A rule that thereby prevents anyone saying anything probably won't increase the sum of human happiness.
