To clarify, my word selection as well as my overall response were based solely on the distinction between presenting something as an opinion versus stating something outright as if it were fact. Subjectivity versus objectivity.
I'm perfectly fine with people giving their opinions; I've made that abundantly clear in just about every thread that I've ever had a prolonged discussion in. What I'm not okay with, is people treating their opinions like a universal standard or law. From my perspective, Shepard looks like she's in her early to mid-twenties. So I do think that it's asinine for someone to come around and defiantly state that she looks 16, like that's a fact that couldn't be argued. Contrary to that, is it asinine for someone to
think that she looks 16? Absolutely not. Like I said a page or two back, to each their own.. Different strokes for different folks.
Not quite sure why reaction to my every word has been so negative/aggressive around here. I like to think that I was pretty forthcoming about my stance from the get go.
Glad Luminous understood where I was coming from.

Anywho.. Tali sure looks promising.
