I like your take on this. In that light, we have to be aware that opinions can be part of an emotional journey or learning curve. Then there's communication which also comes into it when people present their arguments.

Thanks. Just my opinions. At my age I’ve collected and refined many. And changed lots.

And let’s face it so many FACTS are disputed territory. I’ve been being lied to all my life. By educators, parents, employers and politicians.

Yes, but now you're talking about how facts can be used in rhetoric, spin, and framing to exploit. In this era of the sound bite, it's totally normal for a compelling yet unbased argument to go viral without any reference to sound evidence or even reality! I.e. the NewsCorpse business model

And again that’s all part of being human. We are tribal. We take sides. We look for opportunities.
