      Thing is, not all facts are true. And once you think you’re being lied to, there’s little chance of being convinced otherwise.

          Something someone claims as a fact could actually be a lie. Eg, “72% of statements people make on the internet are false” is false, but sounds like a fact to those unaware.

        That seems to be contrary to the standard definition of “fact”. Perhaps you meant to say:

        People aren’t always right when they state something as fact.

          Okay, to be pedantic, “not all things presented as fact are true”
