This made me chuckle.

This brings up a very valid point, though. So many _humans_ can't agree on what the facts are these days. It seems to be getting worse. Not sure of the solution.

Ask ten people what "knowledge" is, and they'll come up with ten different answers. Go back 10, 50 or 100 years and humanity struggled with exactly the same issue for so long time. There is even an entire field of study literally just for trying to figure out what "knowledge" is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epistemology
