Alright I'm going to entertain this one last time cause I can already tell you're one of those smart "dumb" mufukkas.
First off, that's projection since you clearly don't know the definitions but I'll go on.
Let's reverse a bit, you specifically said :"absolute statement" not "statement" the
absolute part is key here.
Absolute Statement: If something is absolute, it is 100% one way or another; it is not relative or comparative.

Now, me telling you that this is my
opinion 100%
disqualifies it as an absolute statement. In fact, us going back and forth on it literally proves my statement can not be taken as absolute.

state·ment

noun
- a definite or clear expression of something in speech or writing.
Second.
Preferences are literally formed by opinion but this discussion was never about my preference so no I'm not confusing anything. I gave you my opinion on the matter addressed in the OP. The thread title by OP is opinion but you'd come in here and say it's his "preference"
If you prefer something over another then you've formed opinions on both and subsequently choose one over the another.

Preference vs Opinion - What's the difference?
Next, an opinion can not be wrong if it ts not in regards to something factual. Example, If I say " i don't think we breath oxygen for air" that is not an opinion, it is just flat out wrong as it is arguing a fact. Facts are not subjective or open to discussion and therefore we can not have opinions on them. However if, for example, I say women with fake asses are insecure, that is an opinion(yes an opinion, not an absolute statement or preference) open to agreement or disagreement and discussion.
You've brought your viewpoints into the discussion, I've disagreed. I've brought mine, you've disagreed. No one brought facts, just opinions

the fact that we even went back and forth on this proves me right LOL have a good night
