No, you're disputing the established topic of this sub-discussion, which is FACT and OPINION, not "fiction".

Shit! Used the wrong word on accident!

CP3S loses the thread. It's official.

Not really by "accident", seeing as how you continued to use it about 3-4 times after that.

Okay, don't take my word for it.

I'd say it was a thought failure - you really couldn't distinguish between "opinion that can't be knowledge due to lack of data", "opinion about mental states" and "making up a bunch of stuff that doesn't exist".

The words "fact" and "fiction" are often used together, for some reason as I was typing those words slipped out, but the entire time my mind was thinking "fact" and "opinion". Yeah, I admit, it was a pretty lame mistake to make. If I'd take the time to proof read my posts like I should, I'd have caught it. But now you're seriously going to take the stance that I don't know the difference between the meanings of "fiction" and "opinion"?

The likelihood of someone making a silly error absentmindedly substituting one set of words often paired together for another set of words often paired together seems like it would far outweigh the probability of someone my age not realizing there is a difference between "fiction" and "opinion". But if it makes you feel better about yourself and lends to discrediting my points, I guess I can't blame you for going with it.

"And then you wanna lecture me about "established definitions".

Technically you don't want to use "and then" in this instance, since my lecturing you took place prior to the silly errors in my post that officially established that I don't know there is a difference between "opinion" and "fiction" and feel they can be used interchangeably.
