How do you define the usefulness of opinions?
If it's conducive to having a better understanding of reality probably.
The "covid vaccine makes you magnetic" opinion that I used in the example does not. Their beliefs are based in fairy tales and they don't care to question it, or if they do they somehow convince themselves that when it doesn't agree with they're beliefs that they're somehow still right.
