What would be some fact that, while true, could be told in a context or way that is misinfomating or make the other person draw incorrect conclusions?

Facts are just objective statements, which can be either true or false, but whichever they are it is objective and not dependant on the observer.

I mean, it's a semantic argument, and semantics is subjective, but that's probably how the people who say 'true fact' are defining fact.

    No, a statement can be true or false. A fact is always true.

    That's why I clarified that the definition of any word, including the word fact, is subjective.

    No it’s not or we’ll bicker over every word and square could mean triangle. We have agreed upon word definitions. That’s part of a language.
