The facts are not from the future they are verifiable right now. Eh you knowing a fact from the future? Extrapolating those facts into the future is not opinion it is as certain as the sunrise. Here are a couple of examples to help you get your head around the concept. -A horse that died last week will never win the Kentucky Derby (no matter how long you wait). Not opinion, FACT. -Once you have cut up a tree and burned it in the fireplace, you cannot expect it to blossom again. Not opinion, FACT. You see how today's facts can be extended into the future with certainty? LOL
