“because even you realized there was something Wrong with your first paragraph!”
not really
If anything it proves the exact opposite
Opinion, was a bad word to use, perhaps prediction would have been better. sorry if it caused any confusion.
I had to spell out for you the difference between fact and opinion. because you have trouble with the 2. for example you think the definition of words like “lie” are subject to opinion.
Most people know when, say the weather person predicts rain tomorrow. He doesnt say “I think” its a prediction. (note : not a fabrication the two are not interchangeable even though he isnt 100% sure of what will happen) .
I’m still working on the “lie of fabrication ” stuff could you help me out
I’m trying to understand your “lie of fabrication” one of your “definitions” used “The Dog ate my homework” as an example. In which of these scenarios would you say this “lie of fabrication” took place:
1) The guy never did it, teacher asks where is your homework? guy says “The dog ate it”
2) The guy did do his homework , but can’t find it, he has no idea what happened. teacher asks where is your homework? guy says “The dog ate it”
a. The dog really did eat it
b. the dog did not eat it
3) The guy did his homework, he sees his dog rummaging in his knapsack and chewing some papers, but doesn’t see which, when his teacher asks where is your homework ? he says “the dog ate it”
a. The dog really did eat it
b. the dog did not eat it (eg he finds it later on his desk)
4) the guy did his homework, the dog eats it when his teacher asks where is your homework ? he says “the dog ate it”
in which if these 6 cases 1, 2a 2b 3a 3b and 4 would you say a Lie of fabrication took place?
(note: and this is important while these example should help you realize the error of your misinterpretation they are not directly analogous. Mine is more similar to “the dog will eat my homework” but that wasn’t the example, its best if we stick to the example from the source you provided)
