You would do that by showing that I am more narrow-minded than every other
person on this list including yourself, for a start.

But it is a statement of fact, not opinion. It's not like you said I was
"ugly" or "bad" or something. Those are subjective and a matter of
opinion. Narrow-mindedness is definable and relative. To say that I am
more or less narrow-minded than a particular set is to make a statement of
fact that must be proven.

That's not a statement of opinion, Russell. I think that your idea of
what constitutes an "opinion" is very similar to your idea of what
constitutes a "conclusion" -- and their both not based on the real meaning
of the word.
