Not all opinions are valid and/or equal. Examples:

"Slipknot is just as good a band as the Beatles."

"Mick Thomson is just as good a guitarist as Jimi Hendrix"

"George Bush is just as good an intellectual as Albert Einstein".

"Bill Laimbeer is just as good a basketball player as Michael Jordan".


Now according to your relativistic rationale that all opinions are "equal", we'd have to consider all of the above to be as "true" as any other opinions, even though anybody with common sense knows the above opinions are BS.

Many Germans were (and many still are) of the opinion that Hitler was a "a great leader and fine man". Using your relativistic logic, we would have to accept that ludicrous opinion as being just as correct as any.

All opinions and arguments are NOT valid and/or equal.
you've stated ONE provable fact. that the stones have had more record sales than the beatles. everything else was an opinion.
