Hmmm, it depends on your definition of "wrong." Undesirable, immoral, dishonest opinions wouldn't be wrong in the sense of being factually incorrect but wrong in the sense of being morally objectable. I suppose I could've rephrased my sentence as "opinions can't be factually incorrect, but opinions can be shitty," but it becomes a stupid trite statement that's only slightly better than "opinions can't be facts, but some opinions can be bad opinions." But then again, I don't think the fact/opinion dichotomy accurately represents how statements can be categorized.
