Is an objective truth a statement?
Nope, but in our 7 uses in 6 lines, we weren't talking about
statements. You're the one who brought that up.

I know that. I'm asking if the "it" meant (the statement
that) the earth goes around the sun. You both said
"no", and now I would like to know what the "it"
meant. Mickey says it referred to "the fact...".
But I think facts are statements.
No, facts are facts. Statements are statements.

But a good cigar is a SMOKE! -- R. Kipling (Cigar Content)
A fact can be stated, but simply because it's a statement doesn't make
it a fact; conversely, a fact remains a fact whether it's stated or
not.
