Full Idea
There is no clear gap between its being a fact that p and its being true that p, no obvious way to individuate the fact a true statement records other than via that statement's truth-conditions.
Gist of Idea
There is no gap between a fact that p, and it is true that p; so we only have the truth-condtions for p

A Reaction
Typical of philosophers of language. The concept of a fact is of something mind-independent; the concept of a truth is of something mind-dependent. They can't therefore be the same thing (by the contrapositive of the indiscernability of identicals!).
