    Factual issues can be proven right or wrong based on evidence and facts, while non-factual issues involve opinions, values or tastes where reasonable people can disagree. Factual statements include measurable claims like the length of a board or the sun's orbit around the Earth. Non-factual statements express opinions, tastes or judgments that can't be absolutely proven, such as views on what food to eat or assessments of artistic beauty, happiness or athletic ability.

    CRITICAL THINKING

    INTRODUCTION TO FACTUAL, NON-FACTUAL: EXAMPLES

    FACTUAL VS. NON-FACTUAL

    TEST 1: If, when two people disagree about an issue, one of them has to

    disagree and both be right, the issue is NONFACTUAL.

    TEST 2: If methods or criteria can be described for settling an issue, the


    issue is a factual issue.
