> The statement "These Wildfires are Caused by California’s Mismanagement of Forest Lands" is qualitative, there is no true or false to that.

There is absolutely a true or false with that.

Did the fires start in an area that is considered forest? If so, was it on publicly managed land?

The statement wholly puts blame into the hands of the government, and that can be true or false.

Personally, I don't know the details to say if it is true or false. I'm just pointing out that there is a factual element to the statement.
