Nick, explain just one thing to me: how can this statement not be a fact?

Not "cannot be a fact," but "is not a fact." In this context, a fact is a verifiable, verified, and confirmed statement. The statement "This is not an HD bug; it's a hardware issue with Hell" is neither verified nor, much less, confirmed. However, there is evidence against this statement (provided by both me and Dirty), so it is not only not a fact but also unlikely.
