Thank you. I will follow their advice:

”If you want to be cheered rather than jeered for your attention to language, save "factoid" for those occasions when the subject is something that resembles a fact, but isn't one. Or for things that are "trivial, useless [and] unsubstantiated." For everything else, the simple word "fact" is accurate and you can save yourself a syllable.”
