I think GP was a valid comment about how people propping up business hostility is one of the main reasons consumer law is very weak in the US. Of course, people are allowed to have opinions. GP is arguing what the results of one of these opinions are.

I’d also use the comparison between what was claimed about EU regulations in the UK during the years leading up to Brexit, and subsequent developments. The money spent promoting those false claims was effective.

I'm saying HN is not the homogenous group the phrasing implies. I wasn't saying GP was implying people can't have opinions.
