A useful opinion on opinion

clipped from itre.cis.upenn.edu IMHO, there is a great deal of confusion (and damage) done in this world by confusing personal opinion with professional opinion. We seldom  distinguish between the two, often at great cost ( I can not begin to count the ways!). And in those areas where the two greatly overlap, chaos reigns. But that’s one of the things that makes life interesting – especially for those of us who live our lives on the ever-shifting border between the two, as you do. J Please keep up the good work. Your professional opinion informs my personal opinion every day. ]
