How to express opinions in a scientific White Paper?

I am new to writing a white paper, and want to isolate my opinions from the factual content.

What methods can you suggest to do this?

Thanks

I echo what David said - and if EE loaded faster perhaps David would be echoing what I'm saying.

Your opinion is irrelevant in science.  

Perhaps you meant something else:

"in my opinion this happened for a reason" - that would be a conclusion and you would be expected to back it up...

"in my opinion experiment A is better than experiment B" - that would be analysis and you would be expected to back it up...

have fun :-)

Perhaps provide us with some more information, an example of what you want to achieve...
I agree with them.  To expand a little bit, a scientific paper should include the information required for others to investigate and perform any experiments included in the paper so they can examine the conclusions.  That's the 'peer review' part.
