“Every man has a right to his opinion, but no man has a right to be wrong in his facts”
— Bernard M. Baruch
Simplified Meaning:
Everyone is allowed to have their own thoughts and beliefs about things. For instance, you might think that chocolate ice cream is the best flavor, and someone else might prefer vanilla. That’s fine because it’s just a matter of personal taste. However, when it comes to facts—things that can be proven true or false—people can't just make things up to support their opinions. For example, if someone says that the Earth is flat, that’s not okay because scientific evidence shows that the Earth is round. Beliefs and opinions can be personal, but facts are based on reality and evidence, and they must be accurate. So, it's important to respect the difference and ensure that what we state as fact is actually true, especially when discussing or debating with others.
