What would be some fact that, while true, could be told in a context or way that is misinfomating or make the other person draw incorrect conclusions?

    ‘true fact’.

    • Facts cannot be anything except for true.
    • Anyone who uses the two words ‘true fact’ together cannot be trusted because they know neither the meaning of the word ‘true’ or the word ‘fact’.

      Facts are just objective statements, which can be either true or false, but whichever they are it is objective and not dependant on the observer.

      I mean, it’s a semantic argument, and semantics is subjective, but that’s probably how the people who say ‘true fact’ are defining fact.
