I don't want to put too fine a point on this because I don't want to

seem like I have great depth in this area. When I said fact and fiction are strangely intertwined I meant several things ..... including the following.

Two intelligent people can look at the same set of "facts" and arrive at different conclusions. I put fact in quotes because we are not easily able to tell fact from fiction in this day and age. The first point, I think, is for me to recognize that. And when I recognize that, I become even more bewildered because I am now surrounded by technology which should have gone a long way toward solving that problem. Instead, it seems to have made that problem worse.

I have to keep reminding myself of that old bit of wisdom. "Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear".

The more important point is this. We are often forced to make conclusions by looking at data. Never mind that the data is often suspect. Even if the data was fault-free, data is incapable of yielding a proof.
