All you are saying is that most people have a different opinion than him. In other words that he is subjectively wrong. If opinions could be objectively right

  If someone has the opinion that they can leap off a building and fly with their psychic power, the ground still awaits. I'm not saying you're wrong about the specific case here, but people throw "opinion" around sometimes when they mean "I don't like the facts so I don't believe them."

  >All you are saying is that most people have a different opinion than him. In other words that he is subjectively wrong No, I'm also making the bigger claim that "most people have a different opinion than him" _for good reason_. That is based on a qualitative appreciation of certain measurable aspects of reality. Plus, opinions are also based on facts. If you get the facts wrong, or get what the facts imply wrong, then your opinion is also wrong. (a crude example: I, mistakenly, believe that Mother Teresa killed millions of people, so "in my opinion she is evil")

    What fact is "blue is the best" based on? You have a very warped idea of what opinions have to be; you are confusing statements of fact with opinions.
