> ==‘Fact’ was originally a legal term, etymologically derived from the Latin word for an action: it was a ‘thing that was done’, not some pre-existing truth.== That might remain a useful distinction for quantum mechanics; certainly it seems to be what Niels Bohr had in mind in yoking facts to experiments.
If I observe that something happened, and I can show that my observation is reliable, then surely it must be considered a fact?
And if it’s a fact, then by definition it must be true, right?
--Beyond Weird - Philip Ball
