You can disagree with an opinion, and it can be your opinion that someone else's opinion is wrong. If that's what the title means then yeah, agree. But someone's opinion can't be wrong on its own, because that's just the way they feel about something.

That's fine when you're going through everyday opinions. But when you get into broader, often more biased opinions, it gets a lot less clear, and it becomes very obvious that opinions can be wrong.

It also comes into play when comparing things. Take musical talent, for instance - an obviously very, very highly opinionated subject, with many factors going into it. You could say Elton John is more talented than Freddie Mercury, and it would be controversial but not wrong. You could even say Britney Spears or Justin Timberlake are more talented, and it would be controversial, and quite possibly stupid, but not wrong.

But when you start taking it further, it becomes blatantly wrong - you won't usually encounter these instances, but they DO exist.
