I like your thinking about facts, Dave (and Bon’s comment by extension), as I think it raises issues of how things are perceived, who perceives them, and who has the power (yes, there is that power issue again 😉 ) to determine this or that is the answer.

I suppose part of the challenge in this thinking is how to integrate or otherwise use this within an educational system (and by extension, social system) that likes to quantify so much. No, it does not have to be intergrated, but somehow we need to play in the same sandbox to be taken seriously as education professionals (compared to a fringe group that is readily dismissed and thus has castrated message).
