:You can have your opinion, but that doesn't always mean your opinion is the right one. [https://www.google.com/#q=i%27m+entitled+to+my+opinion+fallacy Look up more information about the fallacy if Wikipedia is too hard to understand]. I'll make up an example to show you what the fallacy is. Suppose that there's a group of people who believe that all rocks are living, breathing organisms. They continue to believe that rocks are living no matter what anyone tells them. Scientists all over the globe come up with new research and examination of the structure of rock and conclude that there are no signs of living organisms or cells in rocks. The living-rock people see all this information and what everyone is telling them, but they continue to shrug them off, saying things like, "I just believe that rocks are living creatures," or "I'm entitled to my opinion on whether rocks are living or not. Leave me alone." Even though it's pretty clear in this case that there is an overwhelming amount of evidence supporting the fact that rocks are not living, they still continue to say, "I'm entitled to my opinion." That's basically the fallacy right there. Although it's true that the believers can have their opinion on the issue if they want, saying "I'm entitled to my opinion" does nothing to support their argument and prove their point.

::I will not deny that fallacy is a mistaken belief. But what I won't deny is that opinions, at its true definition, are [http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/opinion not meant to be factual]. People believe what they ''want'' to believe. And you believe that Miles has no background knowledge on the competitive community, when, in actuality, he knows damn well what he's doing. | ::I will not deny that fallacy is a mistaken belief.
