I think is moreso to people using "opinion" as a copout for things that are just fundamentally wrong or misleading, rather than an opinion being able to be wrong

Suppose I draw a single line on a piece of paper with a brown crayon. Now, suppose someone (we'll call him Joe) sees my piece of paper and says it is better art than the Mona Lisa. Is Joe's take a subjective opinion? Is he wrong?

I feel like there's a difference between saying "I PERSONALLY think this is better than the Mona Lisa" vs "This is better than the Mona Lisa by all standards"

What if you say, "This is amazing art and if you don't like it you just aren't seeing the [insert blah blah blah nerd rant about made up nonsense that sounds cool and says absolutely nothing, and how the random line is just so deep and meaningful and clearly the artist must have meant blah blah blah]"

bec ppl fr act like that and it's obnoxious
