...and some facts are speculative...
I'm not sure that there's
any English dictionary that would support that.

This is not a dictionary concept. So, don't try to act as if facts are black and white, like math, especially when we are incorporating human renditions of facts.
Hardly any human has access to perfect information, even though some persons may be more endowed in this arena than others, and maybe depending on the subject matter, too, so almost everyone has to infer a certain amount of information, even when it comes to facts.
