Hello, teachers!!
It would seem reasonable to him that they should behave as selfishly as in point of fact they do.
----->
What does the phrase "in point of fact" mean in the above sentence?
Thank you in advance. |

| It means the same as, "It would seem reasonable to him that they should behave as selfishly as they actually do." |
