The OED actually defines ‘fact’ as, “A thing known for certain to have occurred or to be true; a datum of experience.” That throws the ball game wide open imho as the meaning of practically every word in the sentence can be debated.

Suggest we leave it at that because if a person has experienced something then it has to be true, if only to them. Will save any arguments,
