You can define opinion whichever way you like. However, when talking/discussing with other people, it helps if you use the terms everybody understands, so you are certain to be talking about the same thing. A common example from my bicycle wrenching practice is when someone says the bike won't go to the 2nd gear. I need to confirm what the 2nd gear is. Which combination of the (2 or 3) front chainrings and (5 to 12) rear chainrings they consider to be the 2nd gear, before trying to determine the problem.
Same goes for opinion. Look it up in a dictionary, and you can be fairly certain that is what the other discussion participants use when saying "my opinion" (honest, or not).
So while opinion has it's limits (depending on one's knowledge and experience, objectiveness, etc.), using the word "honest" can be perfectly correct. As a way to say you really believe what you're saying (for what that's worth, again, depending on one's knowledge etc...). It could also be used as a demagogy instrument, trying to convince people to take your point of view (I know a lot more such "tricks" in Serbian, so can't think of another good English example - but almost any politician's speech will do) though I don't think it's the case with Darrsi's posts here.

I agree. I think the same for your posts following your first one (which is very good IMO) in this topic.

Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
