Indeed, you can find anybody to claim anything on the interwebs.
What makes you think all of those "different opinions" are equally valuable? People are entitled to their own opinions, but they are not entitled to their own facts. Are you saying that foolish people's opinions are to be considered equally valid as any other opinion? When you are asking about information regarding something, you would seek out someone who has actual experience in the field of inquiry, wouldn't you?
So here's a quick question: Whose opinions did you find? Are you saying you are unable to even begin to determine which of those opinions are foolish and should be ignored? If not, if you are truly naive regarding this, of what benefit is giving you any opinion?

Thank you for your submission to Science. Your paper was reviewed by a jury of seventh graders so that they could look for balance and to allow them to make up their own minds. We are sorry to say that they found your paper "bogus," specifically describing the section on the laboratory work "boring." We regret that we will be unable to publish your work at this time.

Minds are like parachutes. Just because you've lost yours doesn't mean you can use mine.
