opinionweight

Every single opinion is worth
1 unit of opinionweight.
If two people hold the same one, it's worth
1 x 1 and so on,
no matter how many accumulate.

Opinion multiplies
in confirmation of just one
times one, times one, times to
infinity - however far
it's spread and gone.

Its weight is just exactly all
the worth of merit it contains
in judgment made, interpretation
drawn, value assessed: upon

The matter to which it pertains.
For only force combines in strength
and by addition, forces ways
to ends that we can only guess.

Opinion refrains. At least
considered reasonably,
which is best.
