Logic / Unit 2 Logic 059 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Verbal vs. Factual Disputes
Captions available
The idea
A factual dispute is about the world; a verbal dispute is about words, and dissolves once terms are precised.
In practice
"Is a hot dog a sandwich?" — verbal. "Is this freezer below zero?" — factual.
Where people slip
Verbal disputes feel factual from inside. The tell: both sides agree on every underlying fact.
