How about measurable, *practically* unmeasurable and *intrinsically* unmeasurable.
We might disagree about the inside of a black hole, or history, or what effects foo has on society, because we can't know for sure, so their factuality varies between 'true' and 'maybe' and 'false'.
However, some things we can *never* prove, only decide, such as if foo is evil.
(However, on thought, some people think there are universal morals. OTOH, they can't prove it, merely assert it afaik.)
