Are you just summarizing the article?

A bit of summarization, a bit of refutation. See:

    and the word I’ve come to loath more than any other is “opinion”.

    There’s a common conception that an opinion cannot be wrong.

    "This is my opinion" does not preclude a connected statement from being dead wrong. It still baffles me that some feel those four words somehow give them carte blanche to spout batshit oratory or prose.

And ultimately, the title:

    Yes, Your Opinion Can Be Wrong

However, the title seems to have changed since I last read it, as it's now:

    NO, IT’S NOT YOUR OPINION. YOU’RE JUST WRONG

So perhaps some other users have mentioned the same thing.
