WILL.I.AM's comment on Einstein

Should we be erecting a safe space around this thread? Someone with more experience in such matters, tell me if that's a good idea.

Sorry, I wasn't aware that the vernacular of my sentence was going to be nit-picked instead of the general message I was attempting to communicate.

I didn't realize I would have to do this, but here it goes. Like most people who hold opinions, I believe my opinion is correct (a synonym of "right"). Like most people who encounter those who have differing opinions than theirs, I believe that their differing opinion is incorrect. By "controversial", I meant against the apparent hive-mind that CD has. When Mr. J made his post, there were multiple replies stating that will.i.am's comment is being over-reacted to. I'm confident if you sum up the amount of those replies, they're more numerous than the amount of Mr. J-style replies. Hence, "controversial" in context of this thread. Lastly, "wrong" is also relative. Considering the fact that there is no end-all-be-all for opinions, "wrong" was used to illustrate that it is a differing opinion.
