This has got out of hand!  Juha has not claimed that all his opinions
are uncontroversial fact.  I can state that, in my opinion, P =/= NP,
and I can claim that this opinion is uncontroversial, but you'd be wrong
to say that I am claiming that this opinion is uncontroversial fact.

I suspect you meant that Juha claims that his opinions are
uncontroversial as a matter of fact, not that they are "uncontroversial
fact".

Yes, Google's opinions on style are much closer to mine.
