“You said “The fact is”. YOU need to be more precise in your use of language. Either it’s a “fact” or it isn’t. And you clearly stated “The fact is”. Say what you mean and mean what you say.”

Oh, I do. And you have certainly grasped the meaning of “fact”. However, when I say: “The fact is that event X has probability Y of happening.” that is stating that the probability Y is certain - not the event X.

I hope this (finally) clears this up for you. Happy New Year!

Your usage of language is imprecise. On FR we have only words on a screen to convey meaning. Teslas success is not a fact. Again, Edisons electric car was a hot item in 1912. This is 2012. That's regression and progressives love it. Windmills too. Both abandoned for true progress.

Happy New Year.
