I think it is correct.
Large parts of internet users has this idea that everybody's opinion is worth the same.
Which is insane.
It makes sense to say that everybodys opion is worth the same for normative questions. But it does not make sense to say that everybody's opinion is woth the same for positive questions.
Way too many people has no respect for experts in variopus fields.
Experts must accept to get their statements challenged . But positive statements should only be challenged by people who know something about the topic. And only normative questions should be challenged by everybody.
