One example of how a person making a statement with incorrect information as a fact can derail the thread with confusion:

Garyopa said there will be a surprise in next release, but he also said it's not N3DS support.
wait so the next release by GW WILL NOT have n3ds support? We'll need to wait until the one after that? hmmm only a week away from n3ds ----could be time to get sky
Doesn't mean there can't be 2 releases In the next 2 weeks :-p
I don't believe it's gna be another release.garyopa makes it sound like the hidden feature has been there the whole time but nobodies figured it out yet so they're gna update the tutorial made by sonyusa to include steps on how to use the secret feature

If you state something as a fact it is not implied to be an opinion, you god damn fool. If you state "I own a Gateway card" we are not supposed to assume that is an opinion!
 
Yes, but I'm not the only one with an opinion. Everyone has one on just about every possible subject. Y'all are missing the point.

You might have missed the point here. I didn't talk about you having an opinion. I talked about the way you indicate that it is just your opinion (and not something else). So, back to my question: Which individual or institution made it a common rule to not add something like "I think" or "in my opinion" to indicate that it is in fact not a fact?^^

I have to admit that I just want to give you a hint with that question. :D

I didn't state it as fact. I did not say "this is fact," and I did not provide a source. I simply made a statement. The reader places that spin on it as they read it. Or not, as the case should be. Again, I don't care if you then go on to spew my statement to other people as fact. That's your (the reader's) problem.

Do you often do that with statements made on the internet?

Nobody did. Its a way people made sure that the opinion was there own and no one elses.
 
Can we move on??
Yes, I'm done. Whether anyone chooses to keep pushing the point or not.

We should hear something within seven days, fellows. One week. If you've waited this long, that should seem like nothing in comparison.

I found you some remedial educational material for grade school students, I think you missed this class: http://www.classroomtech.org/credibility/Fact.Opinion.PDF
Thank you for proving my point. Line 1: "a fact is a statement that can be proven true (or false) with some objective standard." Great, I never tried to prove my statement true (I can't prove it true anyway), and you cannot prove it false as of yet. It was never a fact, it was always an opinion. Good day, sir.

Hey can we do the worksheet? It seems kinda fun: Fact or opinion?

1. July 4 celebrates American Independence Day.
2. Mr. Lopez is a good music teacher.
3. The boiling point for water is 212° F or 100°C.
4. Skateboarding is good exercise.
5. Puppies are cuter than kittens.
6. The Elementary Media Center has 432 books about pets.
7. Michael’s Social Studies notebook is in his backpack.
8. Kirsten is wearing a blue sweater today.
9. Independence Day is the most important American holiday.
10. The English test we took on Tuesday was very difficult.
11. It’s too cold in this classroom.
12. There are too many science books in the Elementary Media Center.
13. Three buses transported students on the field trip.
14. Ms. Wilson is the Elementary Media Specialist.
15. My birthday is June 24.


My answer:
1. Fact
2. Opinion
3. not sure?
4. fact
5. fact
6. opinion because it's not clear what counts as a "pet"
7. fact
8. fact (assuming "blue" means rgb(0,0,255))

I guess since she didn't say there was an update coming tonight, you should hold the imaginary voices in your head accountable instead.

I think we should give her more time, maybe wait until next monday.

btw i was wondering if sky3ds prices will go up after feb13th (assuming GW doesn't release anything by then)
