In the relating of facts in regards to history, science, math, english, etc., I think (and I'll be the first to admit that I've got outlandish views on things) it's better to explain that we're giving an overview, or a simplification, then to explain something as fact and then later say that you have to alter the fact, or add to it. As a kid, it bugged the hell out of me (and, in fact, instilled in me a distrust of adults and what they said that's carried over into my adult life. 'Course, I'm paranoid, so...:). And well, heck. Given enough time, I suppose anything can be "proved" to at least one persons way of thinking.... Chris
