Opinions: Ally or Enemy

In today’s episode, we discuss when opinions can be helpful, and when they can be harmful.

• When opinions are a good thing:
  • When the evidence for a given topic is inaccessible or doesn't exist
  • When the person with the opinion has significant experiential knowledge
  • When the subject of the work is primarily representative of a person's opinion or expression
• When are opinions a bad thing?
  • When an opinion is positioned as an objective truth.
  • When the opinion of an individual devalues any other individual's perspective without objective reasoning
  • When opinion is used as a substitute for research.
