This statement is very confusing. How can a theory be fact? If something is factual then it leaves the realm of theory doesn't it?
That makes sense to me.

A theory never graduates to become a fact and is never 'proven' (two common misconceptions). A theory can however be falsified (proven to be incorrect) and is then kicked out of the world of science.
