Of course your not absolutely sure about that, so your opinion is frivolous and unworthy of consideration

By definition, my "opinion" (as all opinions) are unsure. One can not infer from this that they are "frivolous and unworthy of consideration". This would mean that ALL opinions are such--including yours. The fact that opinions of mortals are not omniscient does not imply frivolity or unworthiness--NONSENSE.

We have several thousand years of history to prove this...
