這就與文字遊戲無異了。

Webster Dictionary 對 fact 和 opinion 做如下解釋。opinion和是否可證實無關。您要是想給這個詞從新定義，那也沒問題。但是您這個新對定義和一般人對這個詞的理解不同。既然和詞典的定義不同，那發文是最好說明。不過按您的“觀點”（opinion）定義，說觀點沒有對錯，也有問題。不能被證實，與是否是事實，是兩回事。比如說哥德巴赫猜想，要麽是正確的，要麽就是錯誤的。可是現在既不能證實，也不能證偽。可是說哥德巴赫猜想沒有對錯，顯然是不對的。問題在於，對錯，和能否證實其對錯，是兩回事。您給出的fact的定義，似乎冠以factual statement（有關事實的陳述）更好。fact（事實）就必須是真實的，這和能被證實或證偽不是一回事。既然想要有共同語言，那最好還是用詞典裏的定義為好，那是大家都接受的。
