Truth: during the middle ages doctors believed that disease was caused by miasma, or “bad air,” and that by breathing it in could cause illness.
Fact: Disease was caused by microorganisms, which spread by vectors such as insect bites, coughing and sneezing, and contaminated drinking water, among others.
“I am telling you, I saw Kojima in my town’s coffee shop ride the rising gear of metal in the fountain!”
However, I’m a hyperphantasiac to the extreme where I hardly distinguish between being present in my dreams and reality.
I told you the truth, I did see that, but the fact of whether that happened is not there.
Iunno tho, I’m taking a wild guess of what they could’ve meant, this logic seems most sound for that statement to be sensical
Elaborate.
Archaic example.

I met Kojima in a coffee shop too!
Turns out there’s a lot of Kojima, it’s not an uncommon name.
Is it uncommon to to ride gears of metal that are rising tho?
You mean honesty, not truth
In the hypothetical, it is the truth, just not of the shared reality (am I schizoposting with this one btw?)
Ooh are you an antirealist?
No, it’s just somewhat of a struggle to distinguish reality from dream from how exactly the same I experience them :(
Just trying to argue that technically, truth and fact don’t need to neccessarily match depending on the subjective experience of the person telling it
