Let's not pretend that this is a matter of opinion vs opinion. This is a matter of truth vs counterfactuals. There may be edge cases where the distinction isn't so clear cut; this isn't one of them.

That wasn't the point the person you are responding to was trying to get across... unless you somehow think everything you believe is 100% true.

"truth", "counterfactuals"

Words that no longer have a definition aside from whatever the user finds favorable for their own means.

I prefer we remove all the stops and see what the chaos brings. Survival of the fittest. Zero censorship of political speech true or false by whomever's standards.

At which point in history did words have a centralized and objective meaning across all usages?
