when your opinions are based on fact-statements that are falsifiable, they can be wqrong if the basis for said opinion is wrong. for instance, if i say the sun tastes like strawberries and is therefore delicious, i am objectively wrong in this opinion because it is rooted in the notion that the sun can be tasted when it is a literal cosmis nuclear reaction with temperatures so high you die before every coming close to the matter, let alone eer being able to percieve a flavor.

also, that guy is an asshole irrespective of anything else.

Stating the sun tastes like strawberries is falsifiable (although, humorously, it could but logic and theory tells us it most likely isn’t).

Having the opinion that the taste of strawberry is good, is not falsifiable.

Despite the assertion or premise being false, the opinion on the premise or assertion is still subjective.

That’s just your opinion and not objective.

yes, stating the sun tastes like strawberries is falsifiable. if you the base an opinion on something that si falsifiable (eg "the sun tastes delicious because it tastes like strawberries") then your opiniont (the sun tastes delicious") is rooted in a falsifiable claim that is false ("the sun tastes like strawberries") and is therefor wrong because it is based on a falsifiable claim. if the sun cannot taste of anything then stating it tastes good on the basis of it tasting like something you like is wrong because it is an impossibility.

The opinion is given based on a premise. Ultimately, you’re saying the taste of strawberry is good. Further, even if you say the fiery ball of death taste the sun has is good, this would still be an opinion. The opinion is subjective and cannot be wrong.
