    You can look through my profile, it’s not my job to educate you. Sound familiar?

    Think of the meme with the 6/9 on the ground. The guy looking from one side sees a 6. The other guy on the other side sees a 9. So what is the “fact”? Is it a 6 or a 9.

    Facts are not absolute. Perspective is always relevant. And when the english language gets involved it gets harder to represent a fact. I am sure you didn’t personally witness what you described as facts. So you can’t know the objective reality. You just have an opinion. Generally the word fact is used to describe something that there is strong evidence for, not an actual objective reality. So to you something that is a fact because you have seen evidence is just your opinion when presented without the accompanying evidence.
