Controversial opinion: "what I think is true" and "my opinion" are and should be different things.

This part seems wrong. Far more personal loyalty is won by other things besides "performing distinctive opinions", eg - Being charismatic via humor, warmth, etc, not opinions - Status via achieving things, not having opinions - Showing willingness to help, stick up for, friends
Also, isn’t loyalty mostly a function of a particular _relationship_, rather than the parties by themselves? E.g. my friend might be utterly bland, but our relationship has its own history; we’ve both invested in it. I care less that he’s bland so long as he’s _my_ bland friend.

fwiw I think Sarah’s onto something interesting here w/r/t recognizability... I just have a hard time seeing the connection to loyalty

Oh yeah, I agree! I just think recognizability (especially for opinions/values) is kind of a niche good.
