Totally fine for someone to point out a factual indiscretion.

So back to my question. What was the topic of conversation?  |
I have no specific conversation in mind.
Imagine these 2 conversations.
Conversation A (subjective)
Me: I noticed that these strawberries are sweeter than the ones we had yesterday. [imagine that we both ate the strawberries yesterday and today]
The Other: No they aren't. [scoffs] You're wrong.
Conversation B (factual)
Me: I noticed that Alaska is more than twice as big as Texas.
The Other: No it isn't. [scoffs] You're wrong.
