Yes, like the scientist do: they first have the introduction about what others have observed or concluded, then methods, results, and discussion (the conclusive opinion) is at the end, where it is based on the facts, or the case presented in the evidence. It is to walk through, where your "scientific opinion" came from. The discussion is also a place of considering your "opinion" in the light of the other walk-throughs and conclusions, just like the video reminds us to note that: it is just our opinion our perspective.

What do you do when someone presents things as facts which are actually opinions? How do you tell them their facts are not facts without being disagreeable?

There is a difference between an objective fact and a subjective opinion.

Yeah, I just assumed if you disagreed with me, you were evil or stupid

Using “facts”
Doesn’t seem
Helpful to me, as everyone interprets facts via opinion. Meaning every time someone speaks a fact, they are still also stating their opinion, or their perceptions, on that fact to begin with.

There really is no human way to be absolutely, 100 percent sure of anything as fact because we’re such incredibly biased creatures.

Yes, this is my opinion 🤣
