Re: WIPP shipment through Albq. NM

	The word "opinion" has come up in this thread.



	An opinion is:



	"A view, judgement, or appraisal formed in the mind about a particular

matter."  (Also:)  "belief stronger than impression and less strong than

positive knowledge."  (Also:) "a generally held view."  (from Webster's New

Collegiate Dictionary, 1974)



	First and foremost, note that the question of truth and fact are not

addressed by this definition.  Someone may have a "view, judgement, or

appraisal" of WIPP, or about shipping TRU waste in TRUPACTs, that says they

are unsafe.  To be sure this is his "opinion," but his opinion happens to

be false.
