Question: "Is that a fact or is it an opinion!?" !?
Is it true that this question, when taken literal, does not make sense!? That is to say that "fact" and "opinion" do not constitute genuine alternatives!? Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's opinion, and you can die for opinion but that doesn't mean it's the right one!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well the idea is that fact and opinion are the same thing in what's called a relative reality!. Where perception forms reality and there are no absolutes!. Math is only a legitimate within itself!. Outside of itself it means nothing, more than what is understood of it!. It is a system of understanding like everything else!. Our opinions become fact when they are accepted by all, until they are overturned!. That's called collective reality!. Truth is just the best lie!. Of course this very answer isn't right until you accept as so, but that is the idea behind your question!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There are facts and opinions in every aspect of life!. An opinion is something that is not scientifically true!. An opinion is a belief, or feeling of a matter!. A fact is usually something you can back up with science, or is mathematically true!.

Facts are something we make true!. For example, the right answer to 2+2 wasn't 4 until we made it a fact that it was true!. A fact always starts out as an opinion, and if people begin to accept the opinion, they back it up with a reason, and it becomes a fact!.

Something can't be a fact and an opinion, but every fact was once an opinion!. Opinions aren't automatically facts!. Facts always have to go through the process of being an opinion first!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Wow-real brain twister!. Gotta think about this one!.

I guess the real question is can an opinion and a fact be the same thing!. I think the answer would be yes then!. So just because it is an opinion doesn't mean it is not a fact!. BUT just because it is a fact does not mean it is an opinion!. So here it would be NO!.

Basically it looks like one can be housed inside the other but not vice verse!. In other words:

Not all opinion are facts!. Not all facts are opinions!. Some opinions are facts!. Some facts are opinions

So really the answer would be SOMETIMES!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
