Antique tractors are more fun.

I would say instead that it is pointing out an unfortunate lack of epistemological seriousness in casual discourse.

Our communities go out of their ways in order to lend prestige to straws of belief and waste obscene amounts of attention and emotional energy in order to protect them.

The proper definition of a 'fact' is objective verifiable evidence that does not change. The sciences Evolution change and evolve with newknowledge. The misuse of the term gives those that reject evolution a crack to justify their objections.

The sciences of evolution is NOT a "fact." You may say the sciences of evolution are "fact" based.

Evolution in the sense of changes of allele freqency and other measures is a fact, the science or theory is not, This is only relevant when arguing with deniers.
