Again, from humans and from reality is not different. Whether it is desirable to avoid stereotypes depends on your values.

What humans think they know is not actually reality - fine.
But then what's the difference between a fact and a stereotype, in your opinion?

Not answering for the parent: a fact is any instantaneous snapshot of reality. A stereotype is misapplying properties of
specific and limited context
to a universal scope.

A fact is a statement corresponding with reality, a stereotype is a belief/generalization deemed harmful/undesirable.
