Since I'm a part of that community, I get to have an opinion on how genres are broken down.
No, you don't.
Some opinions are simply wrong. I'm reminded of the
Saturday Night Live sketch where Ted Koppel is hosting a town meeting and one of the guests asks Hillary Clinton for a recipe for chocolate-chip cookies. She runs through the ingredients: So many cups of flour, so many cups of sugar, so much butter, creamed; how to mix them, and how to bake them.
Ted asks if that answered the question and she responded, "No. She didn't say how much butter to use." Yes, she did. "No, she didn't." Yes, she did. She said a stick-and-a-half of butter. "No, she didn't." Yes, she did and I can show you the tape. "Look, I'm not going to argue. She didn't answer my question."
Some opinions, crash, are simply wrong. It doesn't matter how sincerely you hold them. "Aristotle was not Belgian, the principle of Buddhism is not 'every man for himself,' and the London Underground is not a political movement. Those are all mistakes, Otto," to quote from
A Fish Called Wanda (comedy/crime).
You are free to have your opinion, but that doesn't mean your opinion is worth anything.
