Also, why does no one ever actually listen to my arguement? But back to the original point of this question, a fact is something that when enough knowledge is obtained, every sane person will agree. For example, if something exists, but not everyone knows, it still exists, and it is a fact. And if everyone knew, it would still be a fact. For before everyone knew the truth, they had inadequate knowledge, and after they found out, they had adequate knowledge. And the true thinker's definition of "fact" never stated that it was not a fact before everyone knew. Anyway, an opinion, on the other hand, is something where anyone can justifiably disagree on no matter how much everyone knows. For example, it is okay to think that a certain flower is pretty, for it is in your mind, and there is nothing backing up the belief that you are wrong. But, to suppress another opinion would be wrong, for neither opinion is either right or wrong when faced with the laws of reality.
