The following statement is based on evidence. " I observed an artist ripping up a newspaper and dipping it into a mixture of liquids. She then laid it carefully around an inflated balloon and left it to harden. When she finished, she popped the balloon and peeled it off the newspaper. It left behind a solid bowl."

She then laid it carefully around an inflated balloon and left it to harden. When she finished, she popped the balloon and peeled it off the newspaper. It left behind a solid bowl."
This statement is accurate and based on evidence. There is no personal opinion or description of the bowl besides scientific observation. Had the author included information like "the bowl was beautiful" or "the artist was very talented." then personal thoughts would be integrated and no longer allow this to be completely evidence-based on observation.
