The problem here is the age old question of "what is truth"
I would imagine that the great majority of active participants on this forum believe that they are pushing the truth, even though there are a huge number of disagreements on any number of topics.
I know I don't have any motivation to lie, yet I get accused of doing just that from time to time and I suspect that I am far from being alone in this experience.
In order for someone to lie, they have to believe that what they are saying is untrue, when reasonable people differing on opinions is by far the easier and more likely explanation.
The truth is that thing that no matter what it is subjected to, always returns the same answer.
Which is why the only kind of truth that there can be is scientific truth. well, things in the world of technology.
Socially, so in social issues, there is no truth, no ultimate truth at least. That doesn't mean that everything goes, it just means that there are better or worse responses to any given situation.
