To me it represented an actual learning moment which transcended "local church discussions".
One time I was told that a factoid is something repeated so often, that it is accepted as fact, as truth. That was an "aha" moment for me, as I was leaving the LC. Hierarchy, or lack thereof, was one such LC "factoid." We constantly stated that there was no hierarchy in the Recovery, that we were all just "brothers," but, of course, we all knew that some brothers were more "brother" than all other brothers.
