    Opinions can conflict with fact.

Not really. Opinions describe completely separate things than facts.

    Opinions can be undesirable.

Every opinion is undesirable to someone. That's what makes them opinions.

    Opinions can be immoral.

Morality itself is an opinion. What is moral to one is immoral to another. That's an opinion.

    Opinions can be dishonest.

No. You can be dishonest about what your opinion is. But opinions cannot be dishonest.

    All these things make the opinions wrong.

Opinions cannot be objectively wrong. They aren't objective statements.
