I'm having the same problems.  Probably we should get more used to making
clear what is opinion and what is fact.  I dare say that "Bach's b-minor
mass is the greatest work ever" is wrong, while "I know no greater work
than ..." is perfectly fine.  Mike and I obviously don't consider the
mass to be particularly great, but that doesn't make us deaf or unmusical
or even tasteless.
