It's a bit funny how this post contradicts itself by voicing a strong opinion (we don't know yet if it's loosely held). I don't disagree with the general point though. The stronger someone supports an opinion, the harder it gets for less-than-vocal team members / contributors to point out flaws or incorrect facts. This makes it harder for potentially more knowledgeable people who lack self consciousness/"vocalness" to refute the false statement, which most often causes downstream issues of not-so-interested folks to believe in the wrong statement, simply because someone who seems self-assured and knowledgeable voiced it. I think it boils, as most of the time, down to having a team of people complementing each other. If you have someone with strong opinions, make sure they are not the only one.
