It's too late, and I'm too tired to give this the hearty laugh it deserves...


A fact would be that _many_ Apple products have received good reviews for 
design -- and even then, "many" is a subjective quantity. (How many? What 
percentage? is "many"?)

Closer would be a fact stating that a certain percentage of consumers you 
asked approve of Apple's design, in general -- or maybe they approve of the 
iPhone, in particular.


Whether they actually _are_ tasteful is opinion, not fact.

In fact, the first iMacs were widely regarded tasteless, at least among people 
I know. Were they wrong? If so, why?
