No, I've seen examples where someone's said something like "she's a **** musician."

Common sense should tell you that that statement can, in no possible way, be a 'fact'.
Yeah but you inevitably get the nitpicking sod who calls you out on it being your opinion and not a fact, hence the need for IMO when you're saying something vaguely controversial.
