As I used to try to explain to Shue, even in the law there are various standards. In a civil case, one finds for or against the plaintiff based upon the preponderance of evidence. The standard for informal opinion is not exactly strict. In addition, many things that would be excludable at trial are perfectly legitimate to take into account in an informal setting. For example, the circumstances under which a prosecutor can introduce prior bad acts are very narrowly circumscribed. But in the court of public opinion, anything that might help to assess character is fair game.
