Nobody has all the facts. The ones they don't have are alternative facts. Perhaps one of the doctors thinks colonoscopies can only be performed with a colonoscope. The other one might mention it can also be done with a stick.
So you used the stick. Did you at least take the nobbly bits off? Knowing you probably not.

Sorry I’ll dumb it down. You “can” stipulate what the price is, but under a bunch of situations, the ATO and banks can also stipulate what the value is regardless of your thoughts. And they do this under things called laws. If you try to break these laws, that is illegal.

Mahoney may be a chance for QLD due to there low stock at position.
We should look at a hooker. What are our backup plans? Kyle?
His body can't even hold up in under 20s

Too fat. Lacks match fitness.

Facts are a constant. The variables, or the alternatives, are only the gaps in our knowledge and the way we choose to interpret and represent them.
And very often expert opinion is passed off as fact, which is why the 'facts' always seem to benefit their political class.

Experts are just as prone to bias as anyone else (possibly more so), and when their biases align the peer review process is more likely to fall down.

Rubbish. Facts are determined by consensus of fair minded peers.
Ah those guys.
You have mixed the doctrine of facts/evidence with science (which is mischievous to say the least) as science is fluid.
Science is the ongoing attempted discovery of independent facts. Obviously in the courtroom a decision needs to be made by a deadline so the discovery is put to a vote. The nature of facts doesn't change though. The difference is what they mean.

Agreed. Some people might have a different view on which facts are relevant, but that doesn't make them 'alternative'.

The shit that Conway was trying to spin wasn't even in reference to facts. It was about justifying an alternative opinion.
Alternative opinions are always justified because every opinion is based on unchallenged assumptions. When you've finished reading Judith Butler check out Socrates.

But our decisions care very much about our feelings. And our decisions are the things we (should) have some measure of control over.
