I don't think it so much the giving of the opinion - any conversation that goes beyond how-are-you-good-and-you? consists of a sharing of opinions. It's the difference between 'I think you might' and 'I think you must' that's the crux of the issue.

At poor peace I sing
To you strangers (though song
Is a burning and crested act,
The fire of birds in
The world's turning wood,
For my sawn, splay sounds,)
