How would it work in philosophy? First, you'd have a discussion of whether or not there are such things as facts. Regardless of how this question is resolved, it's important to also answer the question of whether or not facts are identical with states-of-affairs (and for this, we should also determine whether or not states-of-affairs exist, and whether they are the same thing or distinct from truth-makers). Suppose you DO manage to establish that facts exist. What, then is their ontology? But you can't answer that until you determine what their epistemology is. And by the time you find yourself sitting in your armchair pondering what the epistemology of facts is, you're a long way away from the real world.
