Ok, so be very clear about this. A non-verifiable sentence is still saying something that COULD be true or false, which means it IS still a claim.

Try this new example.
 Is the following sentence verifiable - "There was a poodle underneath the surface of mars yesterday."

Ok, this was a confusing example, but do note that this claim IS verifiable. And we can verify it to be FALSE (by gathering the right evidence). 

So do note that Verifiable does NOT mean that it is already proven true. Verifiable just means that the whole claim has a fixed, objective meaning. There is no word in the above example that is subjective.

OK. Looks like you are both somewhat clear about how Subjective and Objective are opposite, so a single claim CANNOT be both. 

How would you deal with this example - 

"This test is very difficult,  and you can see that only 20% of students passed."

Ok, it looks like some of you feel like there is some attempt to support the first part with the second part on percentages. Kezia thinks that 'difficult' makes the first part subjective, and this is correct. Is the second part subjective too? 

Ok, so the key thing to note here is that the sentence is actually a COMPLEX one, made up of two claims. We can split it up into

'This test is very difficult'
and 
'Only 20% of students passed'.

So again, remember, a SINGLE claim cannot be both subjective and objective.]]> 2020-05-04 00:58:20 UTC https://padlet.com/200194882/5dc7vdxqp2adu820/wish/547862614 jeremy_wong_cy https://padlet.com/200194882/5dc7vdxqp2adu820/wish/547864271 True or False - If I cannot show right now whether a sentence is true or false (e.g. There will be 10 billion humans in the year 2100), it is not a claim.

Can everyone look at Kezia's response and comment? Specifically, do you all agree that the claim above is non-verifiable?

We can refer to the school rules of conduct handbook to check if it is true.

Suppose the handbook for your neighbourhood says that you should steal something from a neighbour once a week. If we follow you reasoning that handbooks tell us what we should or shouldn't do, then we should steal from our neighbour. Do you agree?
