What you are alluding to here are not facts, they are hypotheses, guesses, theories, conjecture...
I wrote this comment. That is a fact. It will never change, regardless of any evidence you may speculate. It will be a fact until the heat death of the universe.
Anybody who refuses to believe this fact is not more enlightened than me, they are someone who does not understand what a fact is.
To extend Moynihan - everybody is entitled to their own opinions, hypotheses, guesses, theories, conjecture, etc. But they are not entitled to their own facts.
