Abstract
A fact is something that is usually observed and is proven beyond all measure of doubt.
I think it [facts] is a vital part [of learning] because otherwise you just have speculation and no one really knows where things are going. So if you say, ‘These are the facts and this is how it is’, then people can say, ‘Oh, I’ve learnt something’, otherwise it’s like, ‘What do you think about this?’ and it’s just everyone’s opinion and no one learns anything.
