There is a temptation to rephrase biased or opinion statements with weasel words: "Many people think John Doe is the best MechWarrior." But statements of this form are subject to obvious attacks: "Yes, many people think so, but only ignorant people"; and "Just how many is 'many'? I think it's only 'a few' who think that!"
