A lot of the opinions held to be alleged "facts" ARE nonsense no matter how passionately held the belief in their objective reality.

Any BF thread on the subject of Bicycle Helmet Safety, especially when it includes heated rhetoric and specious arguments about their alleged effectiveness in risk reduction, will provide ample evidence of this sort of nonsense.
