It's a simple two step process:
1. You offer an opinion.
2. It is completely wrong.
For example, "In my opinion, the world is flat". See - opinion offered - completely wrong.
"In my opinion, the Kia Rio is the most fully-sickest car there is aye". Opinion, again clearly wrong.
Now, back on topic -
Personally I reckon these things make the car look stoned or half asleep!
Once more, clearly wrong....

lol
Okay, 2 can play this game.
Back to basics for you - Dictionary Definitions first
O-pin-ion
"A belief or conclusion held with confidence but not substantiated by positive knowledge or proof.
Opinion is applicable to a judgment based on grounds
insufficient to rule out the possibility of dispute."
I agree with my statement, you disagree - therefore the statment is classed as an opinion. At this stage we are unable to substantiate either opinion as fact.
Wrong
"Not in conformity with fact or truth"
Now seeing as we cannot susbstantiate a fact or truth - the word 'wrong' cannot be applied.
Perhaps you would have been better off saying "Your opinion sucks arse" or something like that.... to which I'd probably reply "Yeah whatever"
