Will Fasano break the Parcells 2nd Round Curse?

[theogt]

Exactly......

It was a list of players injured BEFORE the season started.

Actually it is. It is also a fact that it was common knowledge that it was reported. Facts can be true or false, but their falsity doesn't make them any less facts.

dude, common knowledge would be this, "if you don't wear sunscreen on a hot, summer day, you're going to get sunburnt", it's a fact that has years of research behind it; however, relaying what someone said on another forum, with no proof behind it, isn't common knowledge, common rumor maybe, since it was so prevalent on here, but it wasn't a fact, which means it can't be construed as knowledge

Where you're getting confused is what I'm referring to as "common knowledge". It was common knowledge that it was reported. Also, I wouldn't limit the definition of common knowledge so much. If quite a few of the daily visitors knew about the report and discussed it at length, then I'd say that knowledge of the report was common.

:shootme:

I know right? how can something that is false, be a fact?

 

[theogt]

I know right? how can something that is false, be a fact?

Because the definition of fact doesn't require truth.

I have no clue.

Fact (n.)-

1. Knowledge or information based on real occurrences: an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy.
2.
1. Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed: Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact.
2. A real occurrence; an event: had to prove the facts of the case.
3. Something believed to be true or real: a document laced with mistaken facts.
3. A thing that has been done, especially a crime: an accessory before the fact.
4. Law. The aspect of a case at law comprising events determined by evidence: The jury made a finding of fact.



Where to you come up with the notion of "false facts" out of all of those definitions? "False" and "Fact" are complete opposites of each other, and each time you use them together you are in essence canceling out any meaning that it might have had in your argument.

I'm trying real hard to come up with a fact that isn't true.

So far - no luck.

 

[theogt]

I thought it was common knowledge that facts can be true or false. I guess I was wrong.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

facts can't be false, so I don't know why you thought that

 

[theogt]

So what do you call something that is false?

 

[Bob Sacamano]

false

have you ever taken a True or False test? same thing

 

[theogt]

false

have you ever taken a True or False test? same thing

"False" is an adjective, not a noun.

 

[superpunk]

So what do you call something that is false?

Falsity, untruth, falsehood, false statement....

This sort of stuff happens all the time. Folks are born with plates and screws in their backs -- usually this is passed down from the father's side. Amazing the genetic defects you find at the combine.
