That's not what actually happened

There is no counter narrative here nor does there need to be.
Hym "Just like in your Bible... That's not what actually happened and instead of making up a counter-veiling fiction to the thing I'm saying you should maybe talk about what actually happened on your end so more of your kids don't end up getting murdered. Because my position is and always has been that you CAN do something about that in a way that doesn't infringe on other people's rights and what you're doing it me is in fact proof that you care more about the right changing than you do the stopping the child murder."

The principle that factuality operates in two modes: absolute facts (statements that are true regardless of perspective, context, or interpretation) and relative facts (statements that are true within a framework but may not hold across frameworks). The law acknowledges that some facts are universal—the Earth orbits the Sun, water is H2O—while others depend on conventions—"this is a meter long" depends on what a meter means. The law of absolute and relative factuality reconciles the reality of objective facts with the observation that many facts are framework-dependent. It's the foundation of scientific realism tempered with sociological awareness.
Law of Absolute and Relative Factuality Example: "They argued about whether the company's success was a fact. Absolute factuality: revenue numbers were real, measurable, undeniable. Relative factuality: whether that counted as 'success' depended on profit margins, market share, and what you valued. The law of absolute and relative factuality said: the numbers were absolute; their interpretation was relative. They stopped arguing about facts and started arguing about values."
