Why does Mathoverflow not like opinions?

I've learnt that mathematics is largely about people and their experiences. The mathematics and the people are entwined in a way that should be celebrated. So with this in mind, why does Mathoverflow dislike opinions? Opinions are one of the tools and manners in which mathematicians navigate the world (and the mathematical one at that- for example having opinions about the best approach to a problem or theory and so on). So why are opinions not ok here?

Feel free to tell me your opinion on the matter.
