Have you ever read a article or a newspaper in your life? Big bold statement as a heading to attract audience and response and than discuss under the heading. Prices must fall can be a positive statement for most men on here, and negative for the girls and whatever you are ;)


Oh dear lord. The word "positive" has more than one meaning. In the way that I used it, it is not the opposite of "negative", it is the opposite of "normative" (which is pretty clear from how I phrased it - I even gave you the word "normative" and an indication of what each means to point you in the direction of what sense of "positive" I was using. Your response is frankly embarrassing).

So let me try dumb it down a bit: "Prices must fall" means that prices are too high (you with me?). Being "too high" is not an empirical statement, it is value judgment - It is a subjective assessment, not an objective fact. "Too high" is *your* opinion on where prices should be relative to where they actually are. So prices must fall is not an observation, its an opinion

(The thing about newspapers/ articles is that they don't just canvass opinions- They put forward a view in the article itself and/or the headline (like you've done despite being too stupid to realize it))

Its a opinion based on a observation you dumb ass. :)

No shit, genius. Most opinions are. But an opinion about an objective fact, is still not itself an objective fact. It's still an opinion. So can we drop the pretense that you just made an observation and didn't reveal your opinion? I mean you actually just conceded that, so can we skip the bit where you double down on pretending otherwise?
