I've heard some people say that everything is an opinion.
In honesty, I don't see how it could be.
Think about this:
I win the lottery. Is that an opinion? No, it's a fact that I won the lottery. I have proof that I won. The ticket that I bought won the lottery. I got the money for winning. Is that an opinion?
Also, if you think that just because you think that something is not a fact because you think it is not a fact, then you are simply wrong, because if everyone's opinion changed a fact, no one could have an opinion, because everyone's opinion would change everyone's opinion, so the idea of an opinion itself wouldn't exist. Also, why would you think that you are so special that your opinion changes a fact?
If everything was an opinion, wouldn't it be a truth that everything is an opinion? Wouldn't that make it a fact that everything is an opinion, itself proving that everything is not an opinion, because everything being an opinion would be fact, and a fact is not an opinion.
Everyone has opinions on everything, but just because you have an opinion on something doesn't mean that that one thing is not a fact.
Some things are opinions, such as a preference on a food or a favorite anything. Those things are opinions, and there is no fact to what food is the best, or who has the best singing voice in the world.
To me, the idea of everything being an opinion makes no sense, because everything being an opinion would leave huge gaps in everything. It's my opinion that it makes no sense that everything is an opinion. However, it is a fact that everything is not an opinion, and it is also a fact that everything is not a fact. (Oh, it would also be a fact that there is no such thing as a fact if everything was an opinion, again disproving that idea in general.)
Logic simply says that everything is not an opinion.
