Ah, ok...the resultant actions are fact, the why's are still out with the jury....got it
I think this kind of demonstrates how arguments can happen. When just one question is left unasked, an unfounded opinion sets in and the person who has it proclaims it as a fact, when indeed, it isn't, it's a belief...thus a foundation is laid for any future interaction. It comes back to what the OP had intimated-we draw hypotheses based on what we've had laid out before us without ever delving into anything further and that enhances a belief held. Discussion then becomes debate, debate becomes argument....argument forms opinions. Rather than just make assumptions that either gravity statement from the other is wrong, better to ask 'what do you mean?'
