    by unbiased evidence.

    DISTINGUISHING FACT
    FROM OPINION
    An OPINION, though valid, is a
    statement which expresses a
    personal bias or a point of view
    and cannot be proven
    objectively. It is a statement of
    what an individual or group
    feels, thinks, or believes.
    Different opinions can be given
    on the same subject. Phrases
    such as it seems, it appears, it
    may, I believe, I think are often
    used to denote an opinion.
