It just doesn't. Agreement on the use of signs - and facts about that use of signs - in the assertion water is H2O do not constitute the chemical make-up of water - the fact of the matter.
PH can you prove 'the fact of the matter' in the above case exists as real? i.e. that you are not chasing after an illusion.

What is the-matter in this case?
