an illustration of a scale. "Opinion" is being weighed on the left side of the scale. "Facts & Research" are being depicted on the right side. It's clear from the illustration that "facts & research" weigh more than "opinion." — In this illustration, "opinion" weighs more than "facts and evidence." While in academic and professional writing, facts and research typically outweigh opinion in terms of credibility and authority, this dynamic can shift in rhetorical situations where emotional filtering and information bias come into play. In such contexts, individuals may prioritize opinions that align with their beliefs over objective facts. Crafting truly authoritative texts requires more than just presenting data; it involves skillfully integrating evidence, acknowledging diverse perspectives, and demonstrating a nuanced understanding of the subject matter. Effective writers balance factual information with insightful analysis, creating work that is both well-supported and intellectually engaging, even in environments where opinion may carry more weight than facts.
