An objective fact doesn't stop being an objective fact because one can debate whether it is the most appropriate fact for the discussion.



An objective fact presented in a way to mislead should no longer be considered just an objective fact. Consider how many racists like to throw around 'objective facts' about the rates of crimes between different races. Devoid of the sociological understanding and comparisons of other base rates and correlations, such facts are worse than useless.
