The point I'm trying to make is that there may be facts. But facts are only known to be facts by people because of an accepted argument or justification to believe that. If facts were just out there and received there wouldn't be a difference. But the facts don't change beliefs. Beliefs define what statements we accept as "fact," even if not accurate. Facts don't change beliefs. Arguments and justifications change our beliefs to accept certain statements as facts.
