    Hi,
    Is there a word for an opinion formed with very little analysis or research.
    Or for someone who is cocksure about their viewpoint but has done very little research.
    Not something like "rash", something a bit fancier and esoteric :-)

    Impetuous, precipitate.

    Try a thesaurus for synonyms.
