I would think $$\frac{O}{F\times SE}=EB^2$$was closer to the truth. The more facts and supporting evidence you have, the stronger your opinion can be without being a strong entrenched belief. If there are no facts, or they are being provided with no evidence, any opinion is essentially an entrenched belief.

Another possibility is$$F\times SE-O=EB^2$$which says that the more facts and evidence you have the stronger your opinion can be without your belief being imaginary. But the behaviour is arguably weird if you have a lot of facts and evidence but refuse to have an opinion. This would imply a strong entrenched belief - possibly in dogmatic positivism.

Shouldn't it be ##O - F \times SE = EB^2## ? The stronger your opinion - at equal levels of evidence - the larger your entrenched belief.

TOOLS EXPLAINED
