It is good practice, in all types of research that has a strong interpretive part, to acknowledge that nothing is 100% nor a 'fact'. There is no escaping, from an epistemological point of view, this observation.
Yes, I used a big word above and I do so because it means I can use less words in my post and be more succinct; that is why big words come into being.
