------------------------------------------------------- Those of us who watch the NOR and V pages, generally agree with the understanding that what we strive for, are statements of fact which cite sources, and where we have two statements with conflicting facts we cite them both.
So "she had a 38 inch bust per Playboy, but Newsweek claims it was only 37"... and so on.
We are "accurate" only in-as-much as we can cite to a source, thus "verifiable". I don't see any need to say a word about "Truth" or "truth" for that matter. Maybe you could re-state your argument.
