Is there difference between a fact and a condition?
Let's say John has an illness. That's a condition of John. And it is also a fact.
Let's say that USA has a democratic government. That's a condition of the US. And it is also a fact.
Dictionaries seem to say that condition = fact. But my gut feeling thinks not. But I cannot quite pinpoint how a condition is different from a fact. What do native speakers think?
