Here's some ideas:

za'e jetydatni valsi ca'e lo du'u xyxipa datni lo du'u xyxire jetnu
xyxici kei xyxivo

za'e {jetydatni}: x1 is data supporting the hypothesis that x2 is true
(under metaphysics x3), collected by method x4

za'e facydatni valsi ca'e lo du'u xyxipa datni lo du'u xyxire fatci kei xyxici

za'e {facydatni}: x1 is data supporting the hypothesis that x2 is a
fact, collected by method x3

Or maybe not.  Maybe those are better for x1 is a piece of data that's
factual, as opposed to false data.  Or wait, is that a distinction
without a difference?
