I have a friend Peter who complains that his best friend is always prefixing his sentences
with in 'point of fact...the fact is...etc
I say why don't you protest that to preface a statement with
'in fact’ generally prefixes the statement of a tendentious opinion.
Peter pauses, "I know what he would say...'tendentious? In point of fact, Pete..."
