A statement of opinion is a statement concerning a subjective
question, such as "Do cats make better pets than dogs?"  A
statement of opinion isn't ever right or wrong or true or false,
it merely expresses an individual point of view.  Most statements
that have a word like "should" or "good" or "bad" or "better",
etc., are statements of opinion.  That can change if the
qualifying words are given precise and objective definitions, but
in most cases they have not been.

A statement of fact is a statement concerning an objective question,
such as "Is every even number greater than 4 the sum of two prime
numbers?".  A statement of fact can be right or wrong or true or
false, even if it isn't known at the present time which of those is
the case.  The statement "Four colors suffice to color any planar
map such that adjacent regions do not have the same color" is a
statement of fact, both now and 60 years ago before the statement
had been proven.  Both P==NP and P!=NP are statements of fact, even
though one of them must certainly be false;  the key property is
that they are objective statements, subject to falsification.  If I
say "The Earth is flat", that is a statement of fact, even though
the statement is false.

In any case, my statements about a particular subset of C being
Turing Complete were statements of fact, and also true statements.
