In short. ye.
In long. They lead to opinions.
Ye know, I never have actual opinions while talking. So I usually just take the opposite side to anyone cuz it's usually easier for people to talk when they're defending or attacking a perspective.
It leads to a nice argument. Then I think about the argument, if I win I usually accept my fake opinion as true. And if I .-. supposedly lose, I throw my fake opinion away cuz I never really had it.
