To be clear, and technical (Destiny)

....and weeks late in my response....

What I mean is that he's stating something for us the community, and in doing so is going to get disagreement. The clarifier I'd want is not for the statement to be "opinion" but for it to be "personal opinion" as applied to himself. So, the modify would not be to add "I think" but to add "for me", as in:

"Bungie dropped the ball for me"
or
"In my experience, Bungie dropped the ball"

Those are things that are:
1. True
2. Can not be argued with.

those statements allow other people to respond in discourse, instead of disagreement. This, by the way, is marriage counseling 101, which I've done, so I'm an expert ;-)

Just stating something as opinion doesn't avoid distracting arguments.

So, "In my experience, Bungie dropped the ball" invites others to say "Really? You're not wrong, but in my experience they didn't, and here is why".

Where as "In my opinion, Bungie dropped the ball" tends to invite "No, they didn't", because the subject is whether Bungie dropped the ball globally for the community, and isn't pointed at personal experience.
