It has always been the Rhino understanding that an Opinion represented some sort of mental conclusion, arrived at by Reason and Experience.

All critters receive training from family members about what is good to believe, and what stinks. This system could be improved; not all assumptions are necessarily worthy. These sort of Opinions look suspiciously like Prejudices, grounded in emotion run amuck.

Or, on occasion, We will assess a situation and try to analize a decent possible resolution, taking various conflicting solutions into account.

It might be remembered that Rhinos weigh in by the ton, though We can’t exactly remember why that affects our Opinions… or the respect our Opinions deserve.
