Our reclassification puts flexibility back in the hands of the people.\u201d According to the administration, a bipartisan Commission for Truthfulness Streamlining (CTS) has spent nine months auditing over 1.3 billion data points\u2014ranging from census figures to the approximate size of fruit flies\u2014assessing which \u201cfacts might benefit from subjective enhancement.\u201d CTS\u2019s preliminary report shows 87% of all facts \u201ccontain traces of personal perception,\u201d leading to their successful rebranding as \u201cAlternative Opinions,\u201d pending public acclimatization.<\/p>\n<p>Experts are divided on the plan\u2019s technical merit. Dr. Kimball Reeve, Chair of the National Academy of Knowledge, noted in testimony to the House Understanding Committee that \u201cconsistency of information will be served by removing the burdensome necessity of consistency.\u201d The OFO will launch the First National Database of Opinions Formerly Known as Facts (NDOFKAF), in which previously confirmed truths such as the boiling point of water, the outcome of the 1972 presidential race, and the existence of Greenland will rotate hourly according to a randomized Opinion Calendar powered by public polling and horoscope data. <\/p>\n<p>To support \u201ctransitional understanding,\u201d the Federal Communications Commission has released an emergency memo mandating all news broadcasts include the disclaimer: \u201cAny resemblance to factual content is purely coincidental and should not be construed as epistemological imposition.\u201d All science textbooks will be reissued with scratch-off truth reveals, allowing students to \u201cuncover the version of reality that best suits their personal journey,\u201d according to a Department of Education statement. Within pilot programs, children scored 35% higher on self-assurance, but seasonal flu rates doubled when vaccine efficacy was classified as an \u201cannoying rumor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The initiative has been lauded by business leaders, several of whom expressed relief that quarterly losses may now be relabeled as \u201calternative profits.\u201d However, some moderate critics complained of increasing disorientation, with former Bureau of Standards director Esther Lim reporting, \u201cTwo of my three children have vanished, and the sun is setting in the north. Still, we are advised this, too, may simply be a matter of opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The White House declined further clarification, quoting their new Reality Relations manual: \u201cEnthusiasm about details is best kept internal.
