SoAMadDeathWish Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 "It is widely known that the interestingness of an animal is proportional to how difficult it is to figure out where its butthole is. The octopus is therefore, very interesting."I died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would an untrue fact be?A...I don't know, but that's probably because there is no such thing as a "true fact" either. Truth is a property of statements, and not facts. Facts are the things that make a true statement true, but it cannot itself be true or false, much like a disease can make a person sick but cannot itself be healthy or sick. So "true fact" is a category error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they would not be "facts," right?A fact (derived from the Latin factum, see below) is something that has really occurred or is actually the case. The usual test for a statement of fact is verifiability, that is whether it can be proven to correspond to experience. Standard reference works are often used to check facts. Scientific facts are verified by repeatable experiments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brant Gaede Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 There are many untrue facts (facti, factoes, factuses) in novels. Also, true facts (facti, factoes, factuses). Thus the usages of "true" and "false" are justified.--Brantyou could have asked me right off the bat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brant Gaede Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 There are untrue facts (facti, factoes, factuses) in novels. There are also true facts (facti, factoes, factuses) therein. Thus the use of untrue and true is justified. This is possible if the foundational matrix is false and necessary to keep a reader's bearings objective in the subjective swirl.--Brantcontext!

Now if only my visual learning abilities would help me decipher what Brant just said...words are visuals, right?Yes, I was just taking a dig at mainstream news outlets for calling falsehoods, facts.

Brant Gaede Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 To figure out what I said simply recast it thusly (discarding the overt garbage): There are untrue facts in novels. There are also true facts in novels.--Branthint: the untrue facts in novels are not facts (John Galt is tortured); the true facts in novels are facts (trains run on rails); and it is only in works of fiction--some claimed to be non-fiction (lies)--that we need to know the difference, BUT only morons don't know this and as for Brant's post if it's not in the Koran it's false and if it's in the Koran it's superfluous (as with all else on OL)(hope this helps: now, go reread the original post if you have the time to waste [you must have for you've read this])here's something original with me even I can't figure out: Asdih dli dfjeknek dkjek53nvndg slkjder eiugeht!(there's a prise) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
