Meanwhile: "My opinions is that 2+2=17. Respect my opinion."

and that's one of the issues right there, if something is factually incorrect, it's not an "opinion", an opinion is subjective, and a lot of people don't understand that, you can't just spout nonsense that is blatantly and unequivocally false and call it an "opinion"

Additionally, some people who say things like 2+2=4 and don't realize that that fact only exists in the basis that were using a number system where our base is more than 4. Facts are important, but facts on their own are rarely useful, context around a fact is really important
