"fact"

Calvin: I think we have got enough information now, don't you?

Hobbes: All we have is one "fact" that you made up.

Calvin: That's plenty. By the time we add an introduction, a few illustrations and a conclusion, it'll look like a graduate thesis.

...

a "fact" on its own has no real value, other than the power that lies behind it, and the agenda that it serves.
hmm. are all those degrees out there really worth their "worth"?
only god noes.
