Triss,
You can be definite about facts and confident about your interpretations of combinations of facts (circustances) while leaving open the possiblity that more information could change your opinion. Write what you know as fact. And if you have rational grounds to defend your opinions write them (they are what you think you know) as distinct possibilities.
