    Upon further thought, I think what the issue here is, is treating facts as a correspondence between the world, so-to-speak, out there, and the mental representations that we have about the world. Hence, the confusion between the fact and the mental representation of the 'thing' or 'object' spoken of, when one and the other are in essence the same thing. Otherwise, there would be little content to speak-of in general.

    If one simply does away with a correspondence theory of facts as things out there, then the issue resolves itself, I think?

    The Wiki entry on 'fact' is just shit.

    Someone do something about it.

    Perhaps; I haven't worked on it for years. But it's Wiki, so fix it.
