Ques: Is the following a factual statement?

Options:
- yes
- no
Ans:
I'm thinking hard. So here's my take: My sentence is false because there is no proof that he does (or doesn't do this). Witten never came over and said he does this, thus it is not factual until there is evidence he does. The answer is no.
