Which is Superior? Fact or Opinion?

Which is superior? Fact or Opinion? A fact will sit dead on a page, but an opinion will decide that fact is good enough to put a fact to use.

People are contemptuous of opinion because opinions cannot be shown to be objectively true. In other words, they have a low opinion of opinion.

But a good opinion is superior to any true fact. That's my opinion. But a good opinion is likely to lead to success or happiness. That's a fact.

Good point man! hmm.. so is it like an opinion without a fact is(religions) as empty as a fact without opinion(idea)? so they are in symbiosis.

Excellent question and very true. Religions and superstitions have abounded for thousands of years based on the ignorant opinions of millions because of their gullibility and fear to doubt and question such irrational beliefs.
