"Sacred Cow" –

A person or thing immune to criticism or questioning

One that is immune from criticism, often unreasonably so

An individual, organization, institution, etc., considered to be exempt from criticism or questioning

Figuratively, anything that is beyond criticism


**************************************************

"Opinion" –

A belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty

A personal view, attitude, or appraisal

Suggestion:

Not everybody has to have the same opinion about being a vegetarian, but let's not forget our table manners when we are guests in each others' homes...

Otherwise, we might not get invited back and then what fun is that?


Oh yeah,
what was the thread topic again? "Who was the most Overrated guitarists of 70s?"


(Definitely the self–generated myth of my own abilities back in the 1970s – embarrassingly ludicrous now)

Additional thoughts about "Sacred Cows" – only they are not mine – much better...

I think John Lennon summed it up best with the following quote about the biggest Sacred Cow of them all (if not yours, without a doubt mine):

"We were just a band that made it very, very big, that's all."

Well, when someone like John Lennon weighs in indirectly about, "Sacred Cows" – that seems to be worth taking note of...
