If someone sees a tree and he says, look its a tree, then he is using perception, but if he does not even see the tree or calls it a cow, its still a tree.
The fact that it is a tree does not require perception, perception is only necessary for someone to realize its a tree.

Whatever is declared as fact is done so from a perspective. By the way, "The word fact derives from the Latin factum. It was first used in English with the same meaning: "a thing done or performed" (from Wikipedia).
Looking at the definition of fact again:
Websters English Dictionary defines a fact as 'the quality of being actual' or 'something that exists or occurs'.
It would seem that a "declaration" is not necessary if it is 'something that exists'.

Re Lewian: Okay, I get it, I blended what you were saying with what someone else was saying, which was incorrect on my part. The statements I blended were similar but different.

Would your post count as a fact, or a perspective or something else?

You can count it for whatever you want. Obviously it's written from my perspective. But from my perspective "Whatever is declared as fact is done so from a perspective" could well be declared a fact, I find it rather obvious. But then I may be wrong and you may have arguments why for you it isn't a fact?

Websters English Dictionary defines a fact as 'the quality of being actual' or 'something that exists or occurs'. Can you explain why "I use my two legs for walking" does not fit that definition?

Where have I said it doesn't?

Being the contrarian I am, I prefer to walk from B to A. Arse about face is always preferable, IMHO Tongue

^ Well in that case there are always "alternative facts" about how people walk from point A to point B.

Indeed. "That" quote has gotten annoying, to say the least. (Someone loves to repeat that at every opportunity.)

Very good to think about when dealing with mass media. 


I will say that everything is our perspective, but fact is not the truth, but another perspective.
