I can't make it any more plain than: H20 is water. Or the acceleration due to earth's gravity in a vacuum at 0 atm is -9.8 m/s.
Those are facts.
"Facts" based on what? A point in time, current knowledge about laws, nature? Context?
These are observations from which we use to deduce other deductions.
THEORETICALLY (and I know I'm wasting my time because you won't get this) those "facts" might be dependent of parameters inserted into the configuration of our current virtual simulation. How do you know what observations are 100% fact?

And yes. We use facts to help us make educated deductions for situations we can't observe. quote:Again with philosophy. If you're playing in a world you don't deem real, then why even have this conversation?
