OK, but that's far different from saying that facts don't need to be true in order to be facts. This isn't just a semantic consideration. It goes right to the heart of the discussion.

Facts do not need to be true. A jury can make a finding of fact based totally on false evidence or on supposed circumstances but any subsequent conviction still stands unless voided, IMO.

Regardless, you said "Sometimes we confuse facts with truth." There's no "confusion" going on there. Facts are units of truth. That's the point I'm trying to get across.
