    The answer, of course, is that you cannot have one without the other; an assumption is an opinion, yet an opinion can only stand on that which it assumes. This is not a vicious circularity so much as a holismBanno

    Seems the egg, the opinion, comes after that what the opinion is about, the rooster. Without the rooster fertile opinions can exist, laid by mother the hen, but it still needs a rooster to let the opinion touch with the reality it's based on. Which leads to the ultimate question: which came first, the rooster or the sperm? Seems the answer is obvious.
