Me saying gas prices are creeping back up is a factual statement based on my location. If I said it is raining because it was raining where I'm at then that is factual, even if it isn't raining where you're located. Maybe learn to accept people conceding to some degree instead of trying to get them to admit complete fault, even when they are not completely at fault. If you can do that, then great you made a valid point as did I. Else, my point is just as valid as gas prices are creeping back up here despite here not being the same as you.

Yep, if you change what you said to be qualified by a specific location it can become an accurate observation. If I say “people are at least 6 feet tall” that’s totally wrong. “All people on the basketball court I’m looking at right now are at least 6 feet tall” is a different matter entirely. That can easily be true.
