It wasn't something that was simply conjured out of your rectum.

An opinion, on the other hand, relies on no such an empirical evidence to justify ones statement. There's no proof for it. It's just simply a belief, or a conclusion that is held without any justification whatsoever for it.

On the other hand:

If you said "a medical opinion", then perhaps you would've been correct, because it is actually the medical opinion amongst the scientists that deafness, just as well as various types of diseases will actually be lessened (if not eliminated) over the years, thanks to progress made in their respective fields.

Or Perhaps:

If you wish to state it was but a mere "public opinion", then. . No. . . . According to this board, what The Heretic had to say. . from my observation . . . was not necessarily the prevailing view on this thread, however that does not necessarily make that the correct stance for everyone else to hold.


To everyone else on this thread:
