Why have you placed “facts” in quotation marks?

The original use of quotation marks in English, before scare quotes came along, was to suggest that the words you're using came from someone else. Fun fact: that's actually why they're called quotation marks.

That's what's going on here. @passive is repeating the word "fact" from the parent comment.
