Alexander Kubersky. I'm a speaker! Textbook for everyone who speaks in public (№ 426987)

What is a fact? Why is this the most stubborn thing in the world? The word fact comes from the Latin word factum - accomplished. The term "fact" is often used in modern speech. What for? A person's thinking is triggered automatically when he hears some "fact" and immediately receives a signal that what is said is true, a real event or result. A fact is something concrete, not abstract. Well, or quite simply, the fact equals the truth. When a speaker uses facts in his speech, then the audience understands that they are being told the truth or irrefutable truth. Thus, the speaker's speech becomes convincing. And not just convincing, but very convincing.
