hypothetical: calling all evil vagina monsters

[sally]

I could have just as easily said "Apparently Ramsey is a martian" and it would have been just as much a statement of fact on my part. Which is to say, none.

No that's not the same. What you said when using the word apparently was "Appearing as such, but not necessarily so, Ramsey saw through my clever attempt at deception". So Ramsey may have or may have not seen through your clever attempt at deception, but it's still your clever attempt at deception.
