Rejected contribution

I don't see anything wrong with this contribution for trivia
Could someone from IMDb please explain the reason why? Is there some type of change I can make to make it acceptable?
Maya...are you there??

TRIVIA ADDITION

Contrary to McGarrett's claim that the sniper has full all around vision to see any approach to the bunker he is sniping from, the bunker is built into the side of the hill, as compared to being on top of it. If it were on top of the hill then it could have a 360° view, but since it is built lower down on the hill, at best, the sniper only has 180° frontal vision. Any trained tactical SWAT team, even in 1971 could have easily approached the bunker on the opposite side of the hill by repelling down a helicopter onto the ground, approach the bunker from behind without ever being seen, and dealt with the sniper anyway they chose to, whether to flush him out with tear gas, flash bangs or there any other tactical means at their disposal.

Hi Cousinvin62-

Thank you for posting the reference! After further review, we can confirm it was declined because it does contain an opinion. Also, if what McGarrett claims is incorrect (an unintentional error) this will go under Goofs. 

However, as we have previously mention, opinions are not allowed on both Trivias nor Goofs. 

You are welcome to review our Trivia Guidelines and Goof Guidelines.

Cheers!

I'm not sure where you see an opinion.  McGarrett made a stated observation that the sniper has an all-around clear vantage point. The fact is he doesn't. He has a 180° observation only in front of him. I'm not sure how that is an opinion.
