Fact and allegation are indeed xor. Saying that facts should be treated as allegations is.. well... strange. The phrasing probably comes from the legal-style-wording in which I imagine they are trying to ensure they are not able to be sued by the defendant under e.g. defamation by presenting their facts (by saying they are all allegations not facts, they cover all of their bases).
