What's a true fact that is so misleading it's borderline misinformation?
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'.
Oh how I miss the before times.
Counterpoint: True Facts is a great series of humorous nature documentaries.
Imagine trying to move by riding a unicycle backwards and throwing up through a giant straw. That is how the nautilus do.
I'm so sorry but it's either/or & neither/nor. Gotta follow through with the negation.
That's very negative, however I must concur that it's a fact the correlative conjunctions were incorrectly placed to negate the possibilities.
Whether that fact is true or not is up to you.
True facts.
I can't trust you on this because you are using the words 'true 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.
No, a statement can be true or false. A fact is always true.
That's why I clarified that the definition of any word, including the word fact, is subjective.
No it’s not or we’ll bicker over every word and square could mean triangle. We have agreed upon word definitions. That’s part of a language.
Language is constantly evolving. Deal with it.
That doesn’t mean that word definitions are absolutely not arbitrary nor subjective. They are agreed upon in a civilization at any given time. I don’t have to deal with anything.
What about "alternative facts"?
I see your “True Facts” and raise you Kellyanne Conway.
Natural language is inherently imprecise.
Boom, pedants shook.
Who called the tautology police?
That's a true fact!
