An opinion is a person's ideas and thoughts towards something. It is an assessment, judgment or evaluation of something. An opinions is not fact, because opinions are either not falsifiable, or the the opinion has not been proven or verified. If later it becomes proven, it is no longer opinion, but fact. Critical thinking requires we recognize the difference between responsible and irresponsible opinion that we distinguish statements based on evidence from statements based solely on feelings.
