Where an opinion is general, it is usually correct.

Summary

This quote suggests that when an opinion is widely held or commonly shared among people, it is likely to be correct. The implication is that collective wisdom tends to be more accurate than individual perspectives. This could be attributed to the idea that when numerous individuals arrive at a similar conclusion, it is based on a broader range of knowledge and experiences, making it more reliable. Thus, the quote emphasizes the significance and reliability of general opinions in order to assess the accuracy or validity of a viewpoint.
