Facts vs opinions

Hi all!
Here at DCML I have often been criticized for presenting my interpretings
and opinions as facts. Most of that criticism is well deserved I guess.
However I have a growing feeling that I am being treated different from
other people who is acting the same way. I therefore find it necessary to
give an example where another person IMO is acting the same way as I often
do. I am *not* saying that this is in any way typical for this person, and
nothing here is intended for offending anyone.

Here Mr. Wiljes IMO presents a certain point of view (the view of Marco Rota
and others) as a *fact*, not as a *theory* nor as a personal
*interpretation* or an *opinion*. Even so, nobody here has criticized Mr.
Wiljes for this way of arguing, while my name has been mentioned several
times during the following debate as if some people have more right to be
"categorical" in their arguing than others.
Sigvald :-)
