Troglodite thinking:
Opinion - Something you believe to be true based on no or limited evidence.
Fact - A thing you believe to be true that is objectively true.
Enlightened thinking:
Opinion: Anything I believe to be true whether it is true or not and no matter what level of evidence I believe I have.
Fact - A thing which an oracle could, would know is objectively true, but since oracles dont exist we can never exert with certainty that something is or is not fact. It is at best an abstract concept.

quoting note15lh…tapgNot sure who needs to hear this. But all utterances are opinions. The ones you **Beleive to be facts** may be correct or not, but even if it happens to be correct it is still only your OPINION that it is a fact.
We should and do utter things as if they are facts because since all things are opinions without exception this is just linguistically easier. But if your criticizing something for a distinction between opinion and fact your probably already misunderstanding the idea. All utterances are opinion, full stop.
