In this case, Mr Brazee, Mr Dashwood seems to have made a statement which
had 'no restriction, exception or qualification' about 'a thing done'; by
these definitions he made a statement of absolute fact. To conclude that
he made a statement of belief appears to require an addition on the part
of the reader; that would be other than 'what he said'.
