Facts do not compete. They comingle and complete, absent conceit.
When people say “competing facts”, if the facts really are facts, then there can be no question that what is meant are competing fragmentary world views being pushed for emotional reasons.
If I say X, Y and Z is true, and they ARE true, they do not become false if you assert that A, B and C are ALSO true.
What that is, most of the time, is an ego driven perceptual failure. This is why Edward de Bono created the White Hat (in his Six Thinking Hats method) and perhaps WHY he made it the white hat.
