I've done a psychology course....

We all have our own perception of reality IQ. What you consider reality - I might consider a nightmare.

You always say that mantra it's your universal excuse... but facts are facts whether you choose to believe them or not.

There was a long discussion here recently on whether a certain scientific theory was a fact - there was no conclusion. There might be a spiel used at ballot boxes to reassure everyone that everything is hunky dory - but others who work there might see things differently. It is up to an individual to decide whether they believe something is a fact or opinion or a theory.

I wasn't thinking of Abbott being in office when I made the above comments IQ - but obviously if he gets in then that will be a fact that he is PM and obviously a reality.

Ten people can see the same incident, yet everyone can have a different perception of what actually occurred. To reach a conclusion - an authority has to "surmise" these different opinions. His/her surmisation isn't necessarily fact as there will be others who disagree with the conclusion.

Fact is something we can touch and see. A rock is hard. A baby human is soft. An opinion, surmisation or theory is not a fact.

Well what I told you was based on working there.

Not usually. A fact is a fact... The moon orbits the earth. Most people who are educated believe this to be true. Believe this to be a fact. what do you believe?
