as any english 101 student will tell you, it is redundant to say "in my opinion, such and such".

Okay. So you're saying that it's redundant to state that something you say is an opinion. It is implicit.

Actually, maybe the answer is that it isn't an opinion, so why would you have to identify it as one?

Okay. So you're saying that it's not necessary to state something you say is a fact. It is obvious. So, you are correct when talking to yourself, then.

I guess what you are saying is that as long as the person talking shares your exact same opinions, beliefs, etc. that you don't need to qualify your statements.

I suppose one could debate that sort of thing, but you could look at it as a particularly unanimous opinion.

"Unanimous opinion"? You gotta be kiddin' me! Facts are facts, regardless of whether people "unanimously" agree. E=mc^2 is not a fact because Einstein said it was. It just is.
