This looks like more of a result of using grep.
If you call facter with operatingsystem, you are asking for just the
operating system. If you call facter without any arguments, it gives you
everything, then you are grepping for anything that contains the continuous
stream of letters "operatingsystem", whether or not it is a separate word or
not. That would happen with any program, facter or not.
