The fundamental weirdness here is that you think that discussion is the best way to determine FACT. Facts aren't a matter of discussion or assertion. I know that over the last eight years we've had many assertions treated as fact, but that doesn't actually make it so.
Now: interpretation, analysis, reaction... Those are good discussion starters.
