So the difference is •creating an opinion from nothing vs •refining/confirming your own opinion vs •making your opinion sound better (to sound formal, whatever)

Ok, it doesn't change that you can still do any of these tasks with it. It doesn't matter that you're using it ~the right way~. It doesn't change that people will use it Wrong (or for whatever they want) and it doesn't change the impact it will have on society. Nice "not me tho" comment
