"Truth" is a concept often brokered in by authoritarians, where there are absolute, unchanging, statements of "fact", regardless of science, of future results, of more data, (etc.)
"Truth" has always been editable, depending on who has authority.
We're Wikipedia. We don't deal with a "Truth", we deal with many verifiable believers in many verifiable "truths".
