Facts always have directly tangible effect on the experiencer : it can be observed and felt physically - while that may not always be the case with truth. Under given situations, truth has to be "realised" by way of reasoning with the help of the premise of tangible facts commonly experienced by all the people. But that cannot be directly experienced by all. As an example we can say that the visual of a moon in the eveing sky is a fact, whereas its being there above the earth is a truth - as this phenomena cannot be experienced in a direct way, by being there on the moon, by each and every one of us. So to arrive at a truth we have to give space, a leeway to our beliefs, with caution or awareness on our part to see that this belief does not contradict any of the established truths which are already commonly accepted - like we believe the experience of the astronauts.
The moment there is such a contradiction we should reevaluate the truth as well as the new experience which is contradicting the already established truth to see if there is any flaw in the new experience, or the premise basing on which we earlier arrived at the earlier accepted truth.
