I didn't quite speak clearly and so let me try to clarify. It's the opinion presented as opinion containing opinion presented as fact :).
In examples:
- "summer is the best season" is an opinion
- "summer has the highest temperatures" is a fact
- "summer is the best time to have romantic encounters" is an opinion
- "summer is the best season because romantic encounters truly only happen in the summer" is a weird amalgamation. It clearly presents an opinion, and says that opinion is based on a true fact, but in fact, the true fact the opinion relies on is not a fact at all, but merely another opinion.
