The moment someone says "but its my opinion/preference, respect it" they've just lost the argument because they've acknowledged that they are unable to actually argue any points that attempt to verify their opinion. Its like writing a research paper with no references. Nobody cares about your opinion unless you can support it. Don't take the easy road, because its one large academic cop-out that wastes everyones time and only makes your viewpoint laughable.
