      Some opinions cannot be explained. For example “chocolate is better than vanilla”.

      There are a lot of those. It’s the earth upon which all argumentation stands.

      So at some point the question arises, “do I respect the individual?”

      But for us, on the internet, the individual doesn’t really exist?

        “I enjoy chocolate more” and “I associate chocolate with positive memories” are both explanations that are still personal experience that isn’t necessarily shared experiences but can be understood through communication.
