“Truth” is the wrong word anyway, because too many people hear it as one half of a binary choice. “Fact” is better – provided it’s also recognised that “facts” are often approximations or simply our best interpretation of things at the time – and that there may be other, or more precise, interpretations.
(Does the Moon orbit the Earth? Yes. Well – no. It’s more accurate to say that they both orbit their joint centre of mass – which happens to be well within the Earth, but still quite a long way away from its centre. But they don’t quite do that either, because of the peturbations introduced by other bodies in the solar system. And so it goes.)

Truth is not nuts, though what some people claim it to be is.

Delainey and Rasmussen need to get out and smell the fresh air (through masks!) They’re getting very negative!

Truth is merely a lie that hasn’t been found out yet!

That’s not truth. That’s wishful thinking.

sadly a lie spoken often enough can become “truth”.

Badly worded truth is truth. Excellently worded lies are lies.

We use the word “facts” to describe what can be verified; we use the word “truths” to describe what we refuse to even question.

Hmm – having the word “Bud” in the same sentence as “observation, experience, and careful study” seems to be an oxymoron to me….
