Facts and opinions.
What is the real difference between these two?
shareI remember being in a college class where a student said that there are 52 States (United States). Over the years I have recognized this is the most common wrong answer (people think Alaska and Hawaii are No. 51 and No. 52). I piped up that there are 50 States. "In your opinion" was the reply.
Sad that this was a college class. Not only was my fellow student wrong, but he didn't get the difference between fact and opinion.

A long time ago I saw Raquel Welch, then in her prime, make the same mistake. It was my opinion that with her face and body she could get away with it.
The "FACT" is a COLLEGE PROFESSOR was SLEEPING with "HALF" of the MEMBERS of his CLASS.
The "OPINION" put forth was this made him an IMMORAL MAN.
But further investigation also revealed that he only had 2 people in his CLASS ...
and one of them was his wife.
