The fact that Fats said this was quite persuasive would get him into trouble for being vague.

Andrew’s words were persuasive.
(2) Fats’ words were fairly persuasive.

“In case of a sentence (1), what is the preposition of the sentence being “fairly”? Whose words were more persuasive to the speaker, if the speaker the same one?
In this contrast, ‘(37) he is a liar,’ and ‘(47) he must be a liar,’ the former must be stronger, Apply to this, (1) could be more persuasive. Is that real?

What has changed in the media since the ‘60s?

How persuasive, if anything, would depend on the context. There’s no absolute answer, unless the two forms were used side-by-side.

  I did very well. It was not a hard beat. (I could have done better.) Why? Is this a really big deal. I did pretty wu00f6ll? I finished quite well in my exam. (I did quite well with that.) I'm happy.)
