An article I read recently put it well that everybody was entitled to their informed opinion. If somebody doesn't even take the time to think up a reason at the very least or ignore facts they shouldn't expect people to respect their half-assed opinion.

Like I don't feel entitled to an opinion on which car part is best because I have no idea. Like how people have opinions on science when they really have no idea what they're talking about.

And of course opinion can be about things like which ice cream flavor they prefer which is just about personal preference.
