I expect an opinion to be the result of a weighing process of all pros and cons that I know of, whereas a personal statement has not necessarily been weighed against the weight of the world, so to speak. An opinion therefore feels much more rounder than a personal statement. Both would count as originals still. Whereas the deliberate-rounding-in-order-to-create-truth methodology stems from the bubble industry, which leaves the bubble without own originator - not original. We can agree with all options without having to touch the question of originality if we want to.
But reporting as an eye-witness is something completely different. Instances of the right and wrong, of law and order, need to be made understood what happened. That is really, really difficult. 2013/12/18 andrew vecsey <[email protected]> > Every once in a while there are replies to posts stating (or perhaps > complaining) that the opinions stated are just "personal statements" > and/or that the opinions stated are "not original".
