Actually I think the next thing that you have to do is start saying, "Since everyone now agrees that such and such is a true fact...."
That one seems to carry a lot of weight with some people, after all who wants to disagree with everyone else? You may have to defend what you say if you disagree, but if you just agree with everyone else, you don't really have to know anything, because no one is going to challenge you on it.

I'm sure it's been said literally a billion times that Jesus rose from the grave; and it's still not true. So good question.

You have to mention it quite a lot before it sounds like 'fact' in the ears of your listener.

If what you say is true, you need not repeating.
If what you say is false, than repeating it only makes it true to you by delusion.

Lather, rinse, repeat. Always repeat.
Smells like carrots.

For it to be true in your own mind, you don't even have to say it out loud.
For it to be true to others, that depends on finding the right audience.
