More on true/false facts

[W Brewer]

I can recall years ago, as a student in radical Berzerkeley, situations in
which I would make a statement, and my interlocutor would say, <<That's
just your opinion.>> And I would think, <<What a stupid thing to say. You
heard it come out of my mouth. Of course, it's my opionion.>>  Truth is
gradable. That's a fack, Jack.
