I think that was one of the ambiguous questions they mentioned. While what one person might regard as significant may be different from another’s, it’s still talking about facts. I paused on that one a little though.
That's how they really do it. By using language that frames the facts in the desired way.
Is the territory lost significant in size? Is it significant in some strategic sense. Is it significant because it seems like a lot to the author? How significant is it? "Significant" is definitely not a fact.
