Can't tell you're stance here, so I'll clarify mine: facts by definition aren't relative. People treat facts as if they are relative. Determining a fact is tricky business, which is why sofistry is effective.
This topic is obviously a hornets nest, but what I'm interested in is the concept of sofistry in contemporary discourse. Perhaps you belive @orenshani7 is also a sophist, all the better to get at the root of proper discourse.
