Depends where they got the opinion. If it’s something that most people have experienced then they probably have a pretty grounded opinion but if its something they’re only aware of because of news then there’s reason for skepticism. Ask people on the street their opinions on something related to the economy and its a mess.
Opinions can easily be based on ignorance, copycat behavior, group pressure, is a product of that time, etc. Even experience can be a wrong basis for an opinion
An opinion so strongly shared by a vast majority is worth being sceptic about.
I believe a vast majority of people would strongly share the opinion that pigs don’t have wings
Tapes a chicken wing to a pig.
What now athetits
proves that the egg came before the chicken and indeed all birds
Checkmate, creationists!
That’s worthy to be sceptic about indeed, because its a fact rather than an opinion
You can of course always be skeptic, but that doesn’t mean it’s wrong. I would argue most opinions shared by nearly everyone are probably valid.
