I try to keep the following words or concepts separate; Theory, fact, truth. Truth can be arrived at without theories or facts. Facts can be arrived at without theory or truth. Facts and/or truth can yield theory. Theory can yield truth. Theory and facts may not be true. ETC.
When arguing with someone it is important to understand what basis the person is arguing from. Many lazy thinkers assume that all three are the same. They can be the same, they at times can appear to be the same but they are not always the same.
.. Theory, fact, truth. Truth c...”
I like your reply, but words have several meanings (even if slight)
problem: (depending on your definition) Truth cannot be false..
What is a false fact? a fact cannot be false but it’s interpretation (understanding) can be.
