I think you mean the "matter of fact" suggestion rather than assertion, because as a matter of fact, the only "matter of fact" assertion in this thread at the time was "As a matter of fact, Galliford Try (GFRD) is a Construction and House Building Company.". That assertion might fairly easily be read as contradicting the remark it was made in reply to that Galliford Try is a contractor, but doesn't actually do so: a company can easily contract to do a piece of construction work, and thus be both a contractor and a construction company with regard to that part of its business...
