Opinion:
1) "A belief or conclusion held with confidence but not substantiated by
positive
knowledge or proof: "The world is not run by thought, nor by imagination,
but by opinion" (Elizabeth Drew)."
2) "A judgment based on special knowledge and given by an expert: a medical
opinion."
3) "A judgment or estimation of the merit of a person or thing: has a low
opinion of braggarts."
Clearly JTK isn't #2. #3 well no point in looking at "judgement"... but...
Estimation: "An opinion or a judgment"
And thus the circle is complete.
I'd say it is pretty clear that Sun had nothing to worry about JDKs
"criticalness" of Java. Anyone whith a bit of sense would know that
JTK hadn't done even the smallest amount of research possible
to arraive at an informed opinion.

Canary: "A light to moderate or vivid yellow" :-)
Perhaps "cannery" would be better... that would only be true of PVLD
succeeds
in his earleir (or still ongoing?) quest to get JTK fired though (assuming
