回答: “觀點”與“事實”的·定義強華2020-12-08 17:45:14

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。
