A person who adheres to factualism, believing that facts and evidence should guide thinking and decisions rather than assumptions or ideology.
From factualism + -ist (suffix for an adherent of a belief system). Created in parallel with other philosophical positions like realist and empiricist.
A factualist is someone who would refuse to argue about something verifiable—they'd just look up the evidence and say 'here's what actually happened,' which frustrates people who love a good debate!
