Makeshift Opinion Thrown Together From Viewpoint Currently Dominating Conversation

IOWA CITY, IA—Despite his having almost no actual knowledge or strong convictions related to the subject at hand, sources confirmed that local man Brendan Enos managed to hastily throw together a makeshift opinion from the viewpoint that was currently dominating the conversation at a dinner party Wednesday night. “Yeah, I agree with what Greg’s saying, but I definitely see how there’s two sides to the argument,” said Enos, who, over the course of the discussion, had internalized enough of his friends’ passionate talking points to assemble a temporary point of view aligned with the majority opinion, frequently reiterating comments others had already made in order to support and defend his working thesis. “Right, right. I think that’s true, but here’s what you need to remember.” At press time, Enos decided to roll his eyes at a counterpoint that he was desperately hoping someone else on his side would have a sufficient enough understanding of to refute.
