Wow, you guys have a database of all the facts?

Oh...

...actually, this is an empirical fact checker. I wouldn't call it "fact-based", as it's epistemologically an absurd statement, but "empirical fact checking" sounds good and presents an idea that is very close to how humans verify information in the first place - by checking multiple sources and searching for correlation.

For what it's worth, I think your approach makes sense. Good luck.
