Plausibility can be abused in that way, but it's not "just a product of personal opinion." I'll give you an example: Homeopathy. Is it just a "product of personal opinion" to say that homeopathy's precepts violate several laws of physics and chemistry, making it impossible? No!

Well breaking natural laws is a give-away. Homeopathy isn't a crock because of my strong feelings of it's implausibility, but because it contradicts natural laws, and has been shown to be a crock experimentally in published papers

OK, we're getting there. You admit the concept of plausibility can be enough. Now tell me how it's plausible that as many as 60% of all inpatient deaths every year are due to medical error. Do you really believe that? Do you believe it's 30% (250K)?
