Answer: probably, but unless I know how much it'll be hard to correct for.

From what I understand it is virtually impossible even if you do know how much to correct for. :)

I do find it pretty unpleasant when people hold my opinion for reasons that are... lacking, but I think this may be more of an allergy to cliché than to bad logic.

I cringe with embarrassment, sometimes literally. It bothers me far more than when the mistake is made by someone with a contrary opinion.
