The opinion can only be partially true/have a portion of the truth. First, it is necessary to know the reasons for holding an opinion, even if it is true: The cultivation of the understanding requires learning the grounds of o(cid:374)e"s o(cid:449)(cid:374) opi(cid:374)io(cid:374)s a(cid:374)d people ought to (cid:271)e a(cid:271)le to defe(cid:374)d the(cid:373) agai(cid:374)st (cid:272)o(cid:373)(cid:373)o(cid:374) o(cid:271)je(cid:272)tio(cid:374)(cid:863) (cid:894)(cid:1007)(cid:1008)(cid:895).

Second, in the absence of open discussion, often the meaning of the opinion is forgotten: Wo(cid:396)ld wa(cid:396) ii sta(cid:396)ted (cid:271)e(cid:272)ause of the nazi"s v .
