When you hear statements of fact that stand alone, they have no
value to problem solving, and hence can be ignored, but if the "fact"
is presented as a cause or if we are expected to infer something
from a stated "fact," like the water was dark, then we need to clarify
the relationship or inference and then obtain evidence for each
cause. Don't be fooled by creative story tellers. They
subconsciously use this strategy to convince you of their
perspective. From a problem solving perspective, a fact is an
evidenced based cause.
