Yes you can debate a fact.
What you can not debate is the truth.
The truth takes into account context and interpretation. Fact does not.

If truth includes context and interpretation, then isn't the result variable according to the person claiming to have the position of truth?
This definition seems to be tiptoing dangerously near the precipice where religious folk flock like lemmings.
