gawsh. that one never ends. it would be a neat trick if everything written became fact, but it's not possible. for instance, what I just said. nothing can become "fact", because "fact" is just an abstract noun. it can't even become /an/ abstract noun. it can be something labeled by an abstract noun, but the label doesn't really fully represent any specific thing, does it? i mean, it can't stand in its place. You can't eat the word "food". You can eat a piece of paper with the word food written on it, because you think that means it is actually food, but that would just make you an idiot.
