It's not really English to have a 'well-founded' opinion.. Opinions are not based on knowledge or certainty.. they're opinions. I miss when opinions were a thing you said to get the 'nothing' out and a probative suggestion that started conversations.

Perfectly encapsulates how serious opinions are.... not at all serious, by design.
