- fact or fantasy?

In order to discern fact from fiction, true from false, one must know what fact is. In order to know what fact is - to be able to recognize fact for what it is; to establish it - especially when not directly obvious, one must know what the properties are that define fact, and it helps to know what fallacies are too; we discern the one by the other.

Here's the clincher:

When you are asked to cite the properties that define fact, chances are - although it is very likely you think you have a pretty good beat on what 'fact' entails - you'll discover you can't. Go ahead, take it to the test.....................
