parapinion

To hold multiple views simultaneously, which may appear discordant with one another, on a given subject or idea.

I have a parapinion on complicated topics like taxes. Many people expect me to have a simple, single opinion. Instead, I can see the pros and cons of higher taxes (or lower taxes.) Or why we may need to change tax rates. It's not a matter of a single opinion.
