DIFFERENCE
The statements on the first column contain
established facts, figures, and proven evidence to
claim that the statements are true. On the other hand,
the statements on the second column are about one’s
impressions, suggestions, and personal judgment on
situations, respectively.

) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) )
IMPORTANCE
It is equally important to know how to distinguish the
two when listening to a speaker or reading an article
when gathering information. For situations that call
for a valuable input from us, it is important that we
know these two important concepts so that we may
be able to balance them to form a strong argument.
