Whydo you thinkthereis no OPINIONin Part Three?

Because there is no choice for "opinion", I am forced to give numbers to the category for authority and evidence. If the column opinion existed, I might have just placed a 100% to opinion. This survey is asking for a rm stand (but not really) , so it does not avail of the "opinion" option.

The different domains have different kinds of "support." It is hard to put a number on the justication of matters.
