"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".
