Again, this is not a matter of opinion but one of definition.
Sure. But my opinion about the definition is that it's not satisfactory as
it is for the reasons I stated.
Why is your opinion more important than anyone else's?
Could you kindly point me to the sentence in any of messages where I have
claimed that "my opinion is more important than anyone else's", as you put
it? Opinion is just that. You can prove it wrong, if you can, consider it,
if it has good arguments behind it, accept it, if the evidence provided is
satisfactory, or ignore it, if you there's nothing else you can do.
Based on above, it seems that you occasionally may have difficulties in
understanding written language. Is English your first language?

You are not running things, Matti.
No.
The correct and truthful answer is "yes."
The correct and truthful answer to what? That I'm running "things"? Is
that your opinion? If so, could you kindly specify what exactly are the
"things" I'm running ;-)?

Your opinion will be recorded. However, in your position I would give some
consideration to how it affects your perceived image ;-).
Quoted message said:Let everyone summon up this discourse when there is a question concerning your
credibility and authoritativeness.
Your opinion about discussion seems to be that you say how the things are
and anyone questioning your statement is out of his league or lacking
credibility.
People, even you, regardless of how incredible that may seem, make
mistakes, that's acceptable unless caused by gross negligence or
arrogance. And medical truths are not eternal.
