Yes, everything is contextually relative. That seems self-evident to me. I can imagine a context for any truth or fact in which they would be untrue, nonfactual. But just because I can imagine such a context, that doesn't mean that it actually exists.

I'm fairly certain that there is a narrow limit as to how much context can change truth.
