Exactly. A fact is something that can be objectively confirmed or rejected. Exactly what a specific person likes is a fact, because it can be verified/falsified by simply asking them. An opinion, by contrast is 'Elephants are large.' The reason that's an opinion is because while it seems obviously true, it's subjective. Similarly, grass is purple with pink polka-dots is a fact. It's obviously false, but of course right/wrong has nothing to do with fact/opinion.

Opinions can only be seen as facts when modelled as time series data. Verifying an opinion X at time T does not entail X at time T+1.
