Criticism
Opinions are bad facts, or facts laced with emotion. Opinions may be better than facts, except that facts are reliable, and may give information. Facts are no good without an ability to have opinions or at least understand them, however, mere opinions are mostly sensationalism and emotionalism. We can gain wisdom from either opinions or facts, however, intelligent opinions require more understanding than most intelligent facts. As far as gaining reliable wisdom, the best opinions and critiques may give some emotional understanding, but facts may be more reliable, but only so if assuming a consistent reality and unwise opinions (in reality, some of the best facts are sophisticated opinions, although it serves no purpose to emphasize this).
