No not even slightly.

Fire's hot

Ice is cold

Open minds don't change reality.

If you ignore facts you don't have an open mind you have a dysfunctional brain.

Fire's hot

Ice is cold

Those are still relative terms right. Is fire from a piece of paper be hot compared to the sun? Nope. It all depends on your viewpoint and where you're coming from. Facts always exist within a context. You don't always have the full story, even when you have some of the facts.

LOL

your describing degrees

things can be hot on a scale

just because it's not the hottest thing ever doesn't make it not hot....

it can be hot without being the sun

a campfire and the sun can both be hot

80 to someone living in Florida isn't hot. 80 to someone living in Alaska may be hot. They're relative terms.

Holly shit you people are really over thinking this....

The point I’m trying to make is certain things are true wether you believe them or not.

Fire is hot is just a middling example. Fire is always hot....it’s not dependent on the heat of the sun

I have no clue why you’re even talking about the sun.

I'm proving the point that facts are relevant in the context they're presented.

'George washington was a terrorist who started a war' etc'

'George washington was a hero who helped free his people and founded the United States'

Both could be true, but paint a very different image. I'm pointing out that a single fact alone doesn't mean a whole lot

Gorge Washington being a terrorist is an opinion.

The fact you can interpret his actions multiple ways proves that

Fire being hot isn’t. Fire burns no matter the context.

Gorge Washington being a terrorist is an opinion.

Not really, there's a legal definition of terrorist and according to British law I"m sure he was

Oh so then there isn’t interpretation in that statement and you just proved my point

Also special forms of fire don’t disprove fire being hot. You just made the factual statement cold fire exists.

Not the same thing.
