no. it's good actually. an opinion should be strong so you can act with the strength of conviction. it should be weakly held so you can update it or discard when new evidence becomes available.

it's a quixotic attempt to countervail the principle that the best must lack all conviction while the worst must be full of passionate intensity

this reminds me of SSC's sophisticus & simplicio. imo you're in general agreement on the idea, but split on the words. "strong convictions loosely held" ~= "embrace uncertainty but act now regardless". They don't *mean* the same thing, but in practice they are, I think, identical
