You're still missing the point. Facts are facts, whether you agree with them or not.

  A statement of fact is only read as such when the reader and writer agree on the terminology used. That might lead to more interesting studies.

    That's not actually true. Try reading some fact-checking sites.

      Care to elaborate? How can people discuss facts when they have contradictory definitions of the words being used in an attempt to communicate?
      • scholia 10y ago
        In my experience, people don't actually have "contradictory definitions of the words being used". If they are mis-using a word, that's simply wrong. But you're welcome to quote me an example from, say, Politifact or the Washington Post fact-checker or Snopes....

  It's not about whether I agree with them. It's about whether, when someone has been charged with reviewing them, they agree with them. Such a person may be tempted to subvert or disallow them on the basis of their opinion. This burden is on this study to demonstrate that this has not happened.
