Truth or Fact?
What is the difference between a truth, a fact and a tendency?
Every collie is a dog, but not every dog is a collie.
And a certain percentage of dogs are collies
Every tangible fact hints to an underlying truth,
yet not every truth can be tangibly or mathematically proven.
Science-minded people have theorized about natural phenomenon throughout history:
> Astrological arrangements, orbits and Type 2 Solar Spicules
> Periodic Table development, first by guesses and then affirmation by testing.
> DNA theory development.
But there is truth... real truth that cannot always be easily analyzed,
but as truths travel through time, they leave litter in their orbits
from which peripheral facts can be gathered.
Example:
Theory:
Children who grow up without their biodads have less successful adult lives.
Peripheral statistics: Different stats say that:
> 80%+ of male prison inmates grew up biofatherless.
> 70%+ of school dropouts came from fatherless homes.
> 60%+ of youth suicides came from fatherless homes.
So, we should be able to claim that biofatherlessness is often detrimental to children.
This seems to be a truth, but is it an absolute fact?
Is it an unchangeable fate?
No, not unless the result has a 100% occurrence.
If it is less than 100%, it there then is a 'tendency' or 'correlation', eh?

Dave Thomas of Wendy's Restaurants was born in 1932 and never knew either of his parents.
He was adopted, but his adopted mother died. He dropped out of high school.
For a time, he seemed to follow the pattern for many fatherless children.
Yet, he achieved substantial success during his 69 years on earth.
Dave was not locked into the statistics, because he used his free will to fight the statistics, eh?
