Many statements are empirically unverifiable; rational men simply reject these statements, as I have done.

Fool though I may be, please don't feel obligated to repeat this transparent rationalization on my account. You asserted that "That is not progress" (with a thumbs down icon, no less). That is no more verifiable an assertion than Opinion A. Hence, a rational man should simply reject this statement. Or said rational man could own up to the fact that, in spite of his claim to "not like 'opinions'", he is as fond of his own as anybody else.
