Well...that's an opinon *of* an opinion, which has all the weaknesses of an opinion, but in double measure.

"Twit" is glossed as "a foolish, annoying person". It's not a synonym for diminished mental capability.

And yes, indeed, judgements are judgemental. But either you make judgements or you wander through life aimlessly.

To have confidence, road maps and plans, you have to make judgements.
