I wasn't referring to all opinions, merely subjective ones. Clearly a
doctor's opinion on a medical issue is based on objective criteria (or
at least it is supposed to be). But some of what Ebert might have to
say on a given work is reflective of tastes that we don't necessarily
share. Why are his tastes superior to ours?
