Yeah, no. Opinions are not necessarily, by definition, subjective. Or, at the very least, there is a sliding scale (hence me indicating on which end of the scale yours could be found).

And no, I don't really care what your opinion is. But I do care about how people define and approach their opinions. We seem to live in a time where nobody will ever admit fault, because they can, and will, ultimately retreat behind that shield know as "just their opinion" (and Lebowski might be partially to blame for this). I'm not saying that applies in this particular case, but the phenomenon is real. Not all opinions are created equal.

So yes, all of this to say that I think Brooks saddles, well used or otherwise, are hideous.
