What makes the opinion strong, then?
You take a stance fully, like "McDonald's is the best food ever" the weakly held part is changing when you try literally any other food.
That seems like hubris and foolishness. Like, if you know you have limited experience with food saying the one you've tried is the best of all seems unlikely to be true. Maybe this is a bad example?
Yes, it's absurd intentionally to avoid discussions of the merits of the opinion. The goal was to focus on the method of establishing a strong opinion and changing based on new learning or evidence.
