How To Identify Chat Violations

Is asking for an opinion necessarily a chat violation?

I thought that "opinions" were OK to ask for?
Even in the help pages, it says:

"It is possible that a question could be considered a "rant", even if it is formatted correctly. Avoid posting questions that are more about declaring your opinions than seeking knowledge."
BUT, it doesn't say that asking for an opinion is wrong, does it?

The help pages also state:

"Respectfully expressed strong opinions that contribute to useful knowledge for the community are OK on Yahoo! Answers. However, questions and answers that express hate and intolerance have no place on Yahoo! Answers and should be reported. Do not use slurs to refer to groups of people, do not insult other members, and do not act in a belligerent manner towards others."

But regardless.. I keep seeing users here telling other users that "asking for a personal opinion is a chat violation"

Please explain the difference to me.
Examples:
#1 Which entree would you prefer for a wedding dinner Beef, Fowl, Seafood?
#2 Which phone is better the iPhone 5 or the S3
#3 In your opinion, Is Internet Explorer better than Firefox?
#4 What's your opinion about the Chicago Cubs baseball team verses the Chicago White Sox?
#5 In your opinion, Which team will be better this year? The Chicago White Sox or Chicago Cubs?

Which, if any, of those would be considered "chat"... and why

Identify whether it involves a violation of the ethical standards of the profession,?

On a practical and business level could be argued that Hart is merely exercising a right to a perk of his position and that no-one is hurt in this arrangement. However on an ethical level it could be argued that Hart is abusing his position in order to procure personal financial gain. If Hart was genuinely loyal to Sanders Inc then perhaps he should pass the commission over to Sanders as a saving. This of course would need to be a selfless act. A further complication would be if Hart is actually employed by Sanders and an employment contract is in place. In this case that contract should be read carefully in order to determine whether any infringements would be evident in this situation. If Hart likes the idea of personal financial gain and is not prevented from gaining a commission under any contract in place then it seems that there are two possible options if one disregards any ethical considerations. a) Exploit the position and receive the perk quietly. b) negotiate with Sanders a split on the saving by explaining the approach.
If ethics are a paramount concern then clearly Sanders deserves the loyalty card since they are employing Hart and he wouldn't be in this position if it were not for their employing him.

As for laws and statutes, I do not expect to find any that apply. this is clearly a business/ethics question.

I hope this helps
